Avatar m tn After going on CPAP, they then sometimes start sleeping on their backs because they discover they can now breathe comfortably in this position. This new posture can cause back pain because the body isn't used to the position; muscles are stretched in new ways and the back may not be adequately supported. Just a thought but that may be what's happening to you. The solution may be as simple as going back to side sleeping. Glad to hear the CPAP therapy has worked so well for you.
2022074 tn?1406093507 Severe back pain, brough on suddenly. Decrease ability to move with out pain(sneezing causes pain) Usualy in lower back only. Pain extends into legs often, too. Pressing on thigh, or sometimes a spot in back helps. What are the causes?
11473749 tn?1437899164 I've had lower back pain all morning for 5 hours & it's not going away like it usually does. I'm due tomorrow so wondering or hoping more like that this is the beginning of Labour. I've got my tens machine out and it's helping take away this dull pain. Anyone else planning on using a tens machine or have had any experience with one, how was it for you? A lot of women don't know about it it's a shame because its a really good form of pain relief in my opinion..

11473749 tn?1437899164 Gas and air is that mask with gas oxygen in it it makes you helps sleuths labour pain. Tens machine you buy online or from a shop, gives you electric shocks if you weren't contracting they would hurt but when your contracting it takes all the pain away, sort of feels like a back massage.
Avatar n tn I am in severe pain with a slipped disc and have just bought a tens machine as internet research showed it might help. I feel as though it is making the pain worse, should i persevere, turn it up, or turn it down?
Avatar f tn s a machine that you can use to alleviate pain during labor. Pretty much you have these four sticky patches that you place onto your back and it sends a small electrical current to your muscles and when you get a contraction you press the button and it stimulates the muscles. Instead of pain messages you feel like pins and needles tingling. It's the non invasive pain relief that does not affect baby or any monitoring you may need.
12861671 tn?1439752639 Is this for back pain associated with your pregnancy or in general? I had one for a neck injury after a car accident. It did seem to help (it's a smaller version of what they did in the chiropractor's office and my physical therapist gave it to me). It's a little weird in terms of how it feels but I personally think it helped. I'd double check though about using it with your doctor.
6068453 tn?1380396210 The best thing for you to do is talk with your OB and if he doesn't answer all your questions/concerns about the different methods of anesthesia available I'm sure you could set up a meeting with someone from anesthesia at the hospital your delivering at. They of course should have a much better explanation and assessment of what anesthesia is best for you. Ladies have natural child birth all the time. Hopefully the tens unit help you through. They do work for some people.
Avatar m tn On Monday Jan. 27, 2011. i was tarping a machine. I Pulled the tarp out of a gain box and set it on the ground. A co-worker of mine helped me put it on top of the machine. I then Climbed up the machine and proceeded to unroll the tarp. At this time my lower back began to tighten up. By the time i was done tarping the entire machine i could barley stand up.

11473749 tn?1437899164 I'm definitely going to be using my tens machine for the first stage of Labour, already got that packed but can't decide with pain relife to use after if pain gets unbearable. Which pain relief will you be using/having and why?
Avatar n tn There is a certain type of PT that many benefit from with neck and back pain - but costly if you dont have insurance. People with blown out discs even see good results so its worth looking into. Regular PT is not that great. The neck and back machine that works like no other is called Med -X. Goggle it. These machines are patented so no other brand will do what these do. Maybe contact the company to find out what PT clinic close to you has this particular machine.
Avatar n tn its a small machine that is ment to help with the pain of contractions, its ment to intercept the pain useing electrodes and reduce it!
Avatar f tn m worried this might b a side affect to the pressure on my machine being to high ...
Avatar m tn I am a healthy 47 year old male, who has had a lower back fusion surgery 1 year ago. I am having upper thigh pain, numbness and heaviness, even after the back surgery that. The fusion was not only supposed to take care of my back issues but also the leg problems. They figured that the lower leg problems were caused by a pinched nerve. Now that the nerve is no longer pinched I am still having these problems. Does anyone have any advice?
4254325 tn?1355663975 See when my period comes I dont get cramps. I get real bad back pain. Never had front menstral cramps. And no, just because ur back hurts through the pregnancy doesnt mean you'll have back labor. With my first I also had to have c-section. After 14 hrs I wasnt dialated past a 2. I got the epidural 8-9 hrs in.
Avatar f tn It sure does sound like something is going on, but I'm not sure it's MS. I wouldn't give up though... There has got to be a reason for the hypersensitivity. I think MS symptoms are usually more focused. For instance, I have hypersensitivity in my left arm only. And I also get severe (but brief) burning pain on the bottoms of my feet- but never at the same time. I "think" burning pain in ms is usually a parasthesia. It sounds like your pain is more widespread.
1428239 tn?1333457053 Went to work, worked for a couple hours no issue. Then in the late AM, I started having some lower back pain like nerve pain. Started off week then it got a bit worst than i was finding I was seizing up. So I went to lay down for a bit, which helped and I got back up. I went to go up a set of stairs, and my legs pretty much stopped working. Bad pinching pain, had to lower myself down and had a hard time getting up. Work sends me home.
Avatar m tn Yes you can have chest discomfort, but if it persists you need to go back to you consultant doctor and discuss it with him, also you should have got some manuals with your machine or from the store you bought the machine in giving you all the facts and issues you can have with CPAP. I have being using CPAP for 2 years now I have severe sleep apnoea which was misdiagnosis for 12 years even though it started gradually.
Avatar f tn My issue is chiari (6mm), neck issues and lower back issues that keeps me from sleeping on my back. But with the machine I'm understanding that's how you sleep. :( To add to my list of concerns I have Crohn's and have been pretty much in remission for the last couple of yrs. now recently had my check up- lab work is a must every three months- and my counts are all off.
