1672915 tn?1335220598 I am 5 mnths post op and still have unbearable pain in my neck, left shoulder that sometimes go down my arm, low back and right hip pain. Last mnth I had Mri's done and my surgeon said they look good. I went and saw a pain Dr. and he put me on a muscle relaxer that's supposed to help but so far it hasn't. I am having more pain now then I did before surgery and I am becoming very depressed. I am worried that when I go back to the pain Dr.
Avatar n tn over the years i guess i have developed a high tolerance to pain meds nothing helps. i do not like taking RX pain meds due to i have 2 very active childern and i dont want to miss a minute of there lives. i do not sleep at night because when i roll over and lay on my arm i wake up hurting. am i'm the only one that has this issue? is there others like me? how do they cope? is there any relief?
Avatar f tn I have an anxiety problem when it comes to health related issues. I am the type of girl who gets a little pain in the back of my neck and automatically assumes it is meningitis. So, needless to say, my muscles were not relaxed at all for at least a 5 day period. Then it was time to travel back to my school once the holiday was over. I went back by train, and I figured the uncomfortable feeling was something to do with my muscles or nerves.
1554181 tn?1294328303 With the rizotomy I still have all the other symptoms, the discomfort in neck and head is the worst of them, but at least no pain. This gives me quality of life I otherwise would not have had. My neurosurgeon prefers not to operate unless it becomes critical to do so. In South Africa not many cases of ACM is seen. I am lucky to be at a NS who has knowledge of it and is careful in his treatment. It does not take away the ACM or change the progression, only controls pain.
Avatar n tn My father-in-law was just diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis. My husband has had back and neck pain for years but in the last six months it has been severe. (He's actually complaining about it which is unusual because he has a high tolerancy for pain.) From what I read, Ankylosing Spondylitis begins in your lower back. My husband has pain all in his back and neck, mostly beginning in his mid back, up through his shoulders, neck and base of his head.
Avatar f tn t have time to see a doctor, and I was hoping someone could help me with some ideas on how to cure my neck soreness at home. I know what caused it, and it's a little embarassing. Yesterday I fell asleep on my couch, and I was sitting upright so I wasn't resting my head. I was exhausted and I woke up somehow with my head tilted WAY back (and yes, my mouth wide open) after about two hours. Yikes! I'm in a lot of pain. Can anyone help me?

2034897 tn?1329505648 Hello and Welcome to the Pain Management Forum. I am sorry to hear about your unmanaged pain. What is your diagnosis? Knowing why you have pain can help in controlling and treating it. Have you had an Cervical MRI? If not it may be a good idea to look at the structure of the neck area. If not contraindicated alternating between heat and ice sometimes can reduce your Obviously OTC, NSAIDs can also be benifical... but this should be discussed with your treating physician.

She received three treatments over the past year with some short term relief of pain but always come back. Beside this treatment she been doing a routine of physiotherapy, deep tisse massage, water therapy with some relief but not enough. She is going to start acupunture soon.
Avatar f tn Has anyone found any tips or tricks to help relieve some of these symptoms? Head pressure, neck pain, and balance problems make everything so difficult. I'm a newbie here and don't see the neuro until April. I haven't been given a dx yet but my gp says that my MRI shows that the base of my brain is extending down into my spinal column. It really looks to me like I have chiari and I just want some relief!
Avatar f tn Anyone else have neck pain? It seems to have come out if nowhere and I get no relief from it. I've tried everything.
Avatar f tn I get such severe menstrual cramps every month and it's unbearable.. I started this morning and have already taken my prescription pain medication, but it's not working. I'm wearing a heating pad which slightly helps. I do all the "home remedies", though I'm still in pain! What else can I do for pain management?? I have an appointment with my gyno in a week and a half, but today and tomorrow I have the extreme pain and want to do something to stop it now. Any ideas?
1960024 tn?1355014582 I have had pretty severe Pain in the back of my neck that radiates into the back of my head for about 5 months now. I've seen my Dr. and at first he said a pulled muscle then when it did not go away he tried PT, still no relief so he tried these shots that numbed the area for a couple hours, but that was it. There's also lumps now, at my hairline and in the mid neck close to the spine, I decided to see another Dr.
