pain management

Yes, you know your body. But even if they had done testing right away, what would have changed? The answer is probably nothing, because conservative therapy (time, rest, treatment of acute...

pain management

Worriedgirl, I know you are angry and frustrated, but as it was explained to me by multiple doctors (including more than one PCP, an ortho, and 2 neurosurgeons) when I had an acute crisis with my...

pain management

As much as you don't want to hear this, as I and others mentioned before, a chiropractor is not a radiologist. Therefore just telling your doctor that you were diagnosed with xyz by a chiropractor...

back pain

Yes, disc degeneration can and does lead to arthritis over time, as the discs normally cushion the spine/absorb and distribute shock as we move. As the discs wear down, more stress is placed on the...

Return PRP injection visit

Bigecase, The reasons Karen gave are exactly why I also cautioned you about having a regular chiropractor adjust your neck (though she did a much better job explaining it than I). My mom, who is also...

back pain

Hi worriedgirl, I'm sorry to hear about what you are going through, it does not sound like fun. That being said, I would be leery about letting a chiropractor diagnose you. They can assess the...

Return PRP injection visit

So sorry that the PRP did not work for you. Hopefully the chiropractor will be of some help, but please be careful. If it does not feel right, tell them to stop. Traditional chiropractic can be...

Introducing myself

Hi Moxie, Welcome to HW! I can relate a lot to your post. I am not yet 30, but I also suffer from CRPS. It was confined to my eye and face for 11 yrs (onset was due to trauma), but within the last...

Chronic Pain
Hi, My neuropathy in my hands is driving me nuts.

Hi rjbeck, I'm sorry to hear that you are having problems. C-reactive protein and sed rate are non-specific tests for inflammation. When increased, they indicate the presence of significant...

7 weeks post microdiscectomy l4 /5 herniation 6mm, ongoing , burning sensation still shins

I agree with Susie, and would talk to one of your doctors (GP or surgeon's PA if he/she has one) about trying a course of oral steroids if your pain continues. Just because they did not see any overt...

I noticed that, too! Strange since it all says "today!" Haha. Hope all is well with you, Suzanne! I still owe you an email... I haven't forgotten from when you posted to me a month or two ago. There...

Responsible drug use - pressure from doctor

Countrydad, Like Susie said, these days most of us being treated for chronic pain get drug tested by our prescribing doctor. It bothered me at first, too, as I also felt like I was being suspected of...

Chronic Pain
7 weeks post microdiscectomy l4 /5 herniation 6mm, ongoing , burning sensation still shins

Hi js, and welcome to the forum! Yes, the 12-18 month recovery time for full healing of the nerves is correct, although some people heal faster (a lot depends on how much damage the nerves sustained...

CRPS and considering an SCS

Pixie, They do make "MRI safe" pulse generators and leads now (they weren't around when I got my stim), though you might have to ask specifically for that technology. I don't know a whole lot about...
