Avatar f tn So I got neck pain, headaches, shoulder pain, leg pain, and tenderness. I just started back working (because of this economy, not because of my back pain), and I swear I am in the worst pain ever. I can not sit up straight, in the same spot, for too long. Even when I'm leaned against a pillow in bed or on the sofa, my back and neck aches. I stay in pain!!

Avatar f tn As for me with Chairi I am right now looking into diability. I'm 49 year's old and never thought I would be in the position today. I actually seen a lawyer yesterday. I don't think it's really Chairi surgery that did it. I feel it was how many surgeries I had to deal with. I had to go through 3 surgeries which really brought my body down.
Avatar f tn If you didnt collect enough credits then you will have to apply for SSI disability. Medicaid and SSI Disability are two very different things. I hope that helped somewhat but if you have any other questions please ask away. The brain fog is pretty bad but I will do my best. good luck and take care, frank p.s. this site also has some excellent info: http://groups.msn.com/SocialSecurityDisabilityCoalition/general.msnw?
Avatar m tn I was very honest with my neurosurgeon about the issues I am still having. I told him about my neck pain, left sided weakness ,dizziness ,fatigue and back pain among other things. He just blew me off. H e said he thinks it's Parkinson's disease. I went to 3 neurologists and 2 of them said I don't have Parkinson's. It's like after he did the surgery he doesn't want to deal with me. He thinks it's Parkinson's because I have tremors on my left side.

Avatar m tn t recall how things were, and thus it returned when you went off the drug. Or could be that disc bulge or other parts of your neck got worse, pain developed that you didn't notice since you were on gabapentin, and so when you went off the drug, you were able to FEEL this change.
Avatar f tn I am still working but am unsure how long this will continue. I do nothing socially, just work and pain. Has anyone had experience in applying/getting disability for headaches? Any idea on how to treat the constant pain?
Avatar n tn My index and middle finger have numbness and a surge of pain radiates from my fingers up my arm to shoulder blade and pectoris area on right side
Avatar f tn Recently I went to see my orthopedic physician for pain in my wrist and fingers, and occasional numbness in my index fingers. Index fingers turn white during these episodes and the numbness/tingling lasts up to 8 hours. My orthopedic physician took xrays of my hands and wrists and found nothing significant; after examining me, he suggested it could be corpal turnnel syndrome. I was scheduled to take a GNC Nerve conduction but didn't take the test for fear of the pain.
Avatar f tn I am now taking Vicodin 3-4 times a day with minimal relief, but I do not want to become a zombie. These make me tired as it is. I can do nothing without increasing my pain in the neck and shoulders and terrible headaches. I discussed with my neurosurgeon my options and I am not happy with what I have heard. We are trying to get a facet joint injection approved my the insurance company to see if that would help relieve some pain.

Avatar n tn I have a physically demanding job. I have neck, shoulder, arm, and upper back pain. I have been on pain meds for years. How bad do I have to get before I can get put on disablity. I've been told I have artritis and bone spurs.
1649405 tn?1366257026 WOW!! I had no idea how hard it is to get disability. The sad thing is I have seen people that are on disability just because they don't want to work and yet all of you NEED to be on disability and are denied......confusing!!! I have POTS and am not very appealing to employers who want a reliable employee (understandibly). My health sounds better than all of you.
333672 tn?1273792789 html I watched the one on Fingolimod (FTY720), for which I am in a trial and was disheartened to hear the doctor say that although Fingolimod showed a significant reduction in relapse rates over Beta inteferon, there was no difference in disability levels between the two patient groups after a year.
Avatar n tn 6 weeks ago I was working out (weight lifting shoulder exercice) and I felt a pain in the back of my neck (left side, behind the shoulder). After that i realized my left thumb, index and middle fingers went numb. 6 months later, the thumb and middle fingers are or, but the tip of the index is still tingling. I went to a doctor and he told me to get an MRI. So I did. But I CANT UNDERSTAND THE RESULTS, and my doctor is too busy to look at them now! Can someone please tell me whats wrong with me ?!

Avatar n tn The thing I can not understand is I have little to no pain in my neck. I do however have tremendous pain in my right shoulder blade and down my right arm into my hand. This has been going on for about 3 months and when I cough I have sharp pain in my shouder blade. Is this a normal sensation for a compressed nerve?
Avatar m tn More recently, 1 1/2 years ago, I started getting pain in my upper back just below my neck. My thumb and index fingers on my right hand went numb. I noticed then that if I turned my head a certain way the numbness would go away. I was treated with spinal decompression that didn't seem to help, then manual decompression by a physical therapist that did seem to help, and I was symptom free until about 6 weeks ago.
Avatar m tn Old broken non-dominant wrist injury (1983 with medical discharge @ 20% disability) has come back to haunt me when I started losing flex control in fingertips. Turns out arthritic carpal bones have injured tendons to 1st thumb then index finger a month later. Wrist has to be fused to prevent further damage and carpal tunnel tendon repair attempted in 2 separate surgeries. Can I do any kind of (light) weight training or use a rowing machine after healing up?
429700 tn?1308007823 I think the lower back and neck pain has to deal with long term spasticity. Having had MS symptoms for years, I have a lot of it. I've learned to deal with the pain, but it does often keep me up at night--especially when I'm too hot or too cold. I don't have much flexibility at all--especially in my back and neck. I wonder if it was the cause of the problems with the bulging discs in my neck . . .
