Chronic pain?
I have found out from my
doctors than I have chronic
migraines and chronic pain my
neck in shoulders and I am
going to just have to deal
with it with the rest of my
life. I am devastated. MY neck
hurts every day and I get
migraines once every 2 weeks.
Any suggestions on how to deal
with this?

I cant believe that your drs wouldnt recommend that you go to a pain clinic. I would ask your dr about going to a pain clinic. There they will give you meds and tell you ways on how to deal with the chronic pain. |

I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibromyalgia so I know about chronic pain. My first suggestion would be to first deal with the actual cause instead of the symptoms. Anti-inflammatories would be a good way to reduce the inflamation. I take Celebrex but if that's too expensive, you can take either Ibuprofen or Tylenol or Naproxen (Aleve). After that, if you're still feeling the pain, speak with your doctor about pain management. |

What do you do for your Have lots of back problems. I
have 6 hernieted discs(that I
know, we have never done an
MRI of the thoracic spine). I
had a fusion in my neck and I
also have a hemangioma on one
of my vertebrae that is
causing pain. The back pain
causes arm and leg pain, my
right leg goes numb all the
time and then my left leg
picks up the slack, making my
knee hurt. I am 28 and have
been dealing with the worst of
this for 3 years. I know this
will be a life long battle.
All of those that have had
chronic pain for many more
years then me, what have you
done and what are you with
pain control efforts? What
kind of road am I heading down
I guess is what I want to
know?
Just so everyone knows, I do
work 12 hour shifts 3 days a
week at a hospital, so I am
pretty much on the run during
those times. I have 3
children. The 2 oldest are in
school and walk them to the
bus stop. I clean my house, do
yard work, walk the dogs,
Everything that everyone else
does. I am not just sitting on
a couch crying all day. I have
been working on losing my many
extra pounds and have lost
about 30 pounds and instead of
the pain getting better with
less weight, it is getting
worse. So, basically, I just
want to know where everyone
has been in a journey like
mine.

I have had back pain from degenerative disc disease for 16 years and was wondering if there is anything new is out there for releif.I have had epidural injections, trigger point injections, theraphy,tens unit, mense unit and now I am on pain meds and muscle relaxers.I had surgry on my cervical in nov.2006.
Help
Thats what I am trying to tell all of you who haven't been to a Pain specialist. Here in Nevada it is called the Pain Insiture of Nevada, but I am sure all states have one. They can offer many different alternatives. Mine was my spinal coard stemulator inplant. My last surgery before the implant was my cervical in 2006 also. I was born with an extra 1st Rib which durning my 15yr stay in the ARMY caused it to move and cause me many upper back and neck/shoulder issues. It was removed, but it was to late for the reseraction the damange was already done. So go see a pain specialist they know cronic Pain. They can help, I wouldnt trade my spinal coard stimulator for anything and I am now off all my durgs except my metha____ dont like to say my drug because I am still working. Good luck.
I just wanted to update my situation. I am now as of 4/2009 off all my meds. including Meth. I am so happy. Do I feel a little pain? Yes, but because of my spinal cord stimmulator I can tolorate the pain I feel. It is not over baring. I don't think any one should have to live with chronic pain these days and there are other options besides meds. Not sure if anyone is reading this, I haven't seen any responces, but it's ok, I just want this out there.
neuro stimulator I also just had one implanted for my upper back pain. It is working like majic. I am now looking forward to comming off the drugs. I highly recommend it for chronic pain.
