Avatar f tn Are there any alternatives to having an epidural. Planning a vaginal birth but with my scoliosis I already have back problems and don't need anymore since I've figured out how to finally manage and cope with out medication. How effective was the alternate and what was it?
Avatar f tn Has anyone already had baby or pregnant with scoliosis? I need information?
Avatar f tn yea i also have scoliosis i asked my doctor about giving birth she said everything will be fine i just have to talk to the anesthesiologist for the epidural.
Avatar m tn The things that have seem to give me the most relief is yoga, meditation, chiropractic, massage therapy, and the biggest help came from acupuncture. There is a theory out there called micro-tearing. It has not been proven but it is when you have muscle tears so small that no medical devices we have can pick it up. Also, you might want to check for minor spinal problems.
Avatar f tn Does anyone know of anything other then a warm shower/ bath before bed bevause i do that everynight and doesnt really hwlp anymore. And other then a massage because those have always hurt me ny fiance cant even lightly massage my back without it hurting me.
Avatar f tn My daughter is 6.5 yrs old. She was born perfectly healthy and normal but a muscular spasm started appearing on the left side of her neck at the age of 4+. We were advised physical therapy at home which included massage and stretching exercises. Initially it seemed to be effective as the spasm became less visible. However, now it has reappeared even though physical therapy is still being given.
Avatar n tn I have scoliosis and I had massage today. Therapist pushed my spine too hard and I felt strong pain. This was the place that caused pain to me before, but now I feel like it was crushed and pain is terrible. I'm afraid that this massage damaged my spine that I was trying to heal for so long. Did anyone hear about smiliar case? Should I do xray or magnetic resonance to determine the damage, or go directly to hospital?
Avatar f tn I had horrible lower back pain and hip pain very early on. I occasionally get back pain now (21 weeks) depending on if I over due myself at work or around the house (I also have scoliosis) maybe pregnancy massage (something I'm gong to treat myself too soon) and swimming I hear helps.. how far along are you?
1184961 tn?1292574076 Yes & it does help, only it's expensive. My husband has been unemployed for 2 years so we have to cut back on expenses. I do get the massages when I can though. I wish I could get them on a regular basis. I failed to say that I also havae fibromyalgia so the massages does wonders for that when I can get them regularly. I haev 2 friends who are massage therapists who do give me discounts right now, so I am blessed in that respect. Thanks for reminding me of this.
Avatar f tn I have been experiencing a dull but constant pain under my right ear for almost a year now. If I push or massage the hard lump ( cervical lymph ) under my ear and massage upward toward the ear lobe and slowly open my mouth at the same time, I can feel drainage down my throat and I hear a cracking noise ( not every time, just more often than not ). It also feels most of the time as if I am tightening the muscles around my ear as someone would to wiggle the ears but I am not tightening them.
Avatar f tn Has anyone's doctor induced them because of back problems? I have scoliosis in 2 different places, herniated disc's and a bad hip. It's been bearable until a few days ago. I have a doctors appointment on Friday so I'm wondering if I should ask. I will be 39 weeks 5 days on friday. Help?
Avatar f tn 1 that I will need an epidural, whch I hope I dont need. I have scoliosis which already gives me back pain , I dont need more. Just ideas ladies. Advice I know everyone is different. Just wondering if any of you jave scoliosis and have given natural birth?
415109 tn?1304890182 Over the past 2 weeks I have been having a sharp pain in my Left side/back at T7 level. Can't equate it to any particular injury or activity. It is getting worse despite massage, ice, naproxen and Tyl#3. Today I actually broke down and went to clinic and got cortisone shot but it feels worse. I know it takes awhile for stuff to work but this is a real pain! I do have osteoarthritis and religiously take my calcium and exercise-any suggestions on what else to try?
Avatar f tn If you figure it out let me know! I have scoliosis and sciatica which blows without being pregnant. I'm already dying from it.
Avatar f tn I have scoliosis though. I need a remedy for tight back muscles and soreness other than stretching. I would love to keep a warm bath as an option but I am afraid at the time I'm too busy. I've been thinking about scheduling a massage but again time seems to be short these days. I know I need to take more time for myself and I will be able to in the near future but I need a 'now' remedy.
Avatar f tn I was like that I told my doctor and she told me I can used heating pad are a good massage that it was safe I was 26 weeks when I told her and ever since I have em I put one or tell my husband to give me a good massage and it work for me now I'm 33weeks :) how many weeks r u??
6993550 tn?1386820623 She went to the doctor after two weeks of it. He sent her for massage therapy which at first seemed to help some. He then sent her for PT but the worst thing is after a MRI and a bunch of tests, he says she has scoliosis! (sniff) How does a 32 yr old kid get that after having 3 kids and all the active years she's had? (sniff-sniff) Something in this woodpile stinks! I wonder if she should get to a chiropractor or other specialist? This doctor she's seeing is just a M.D.
1503021 tn?1289429335 So, the majority of pain from scoliosis is from MUSCLE SPASMS. So anyone who is having pain from scoliosis MUST TAKE A MUSCLE RELAXANT EVERY DAY. The best one for most people is usually Soma but there are issues with dependency with it. Then the next best ones are usually Zanaflex and Baclofen although everyone is different. Narcotics are NOT usually prescribed UNLESS there are BULGING DISCS and IMPINGEMENT of NERVES occurring. You should also take an NSAID EVERY DAY.
1448936 tn?1363206346 My friend has a chiropractor that also does massage therapy that he highly recommended. I have a slight case of scoliosis so when I get bad anxiety my back gets way out of whack and makes me miserable. I'm hoping that at least an adjustment and a massage will help me temporarily. I know that anxiety comes in waves but this is seriously annoying.
Avatar n tn You also need a good sleeve and gauntlet to help keep the swelling down while you travel. They can also show you some manual drainage techniques and some pretty wicked bandaging to get the swelling down.
8594632 tn?1410183693 m a ftm so no but in mii lamaze class I had last week that was one of the techniques to start labor nd calm u during labor
Avatar f tn Massage therapy, targeted pain massage, chiropractic care.. none of them have helped. Massage feels good WHILE it's happening, but not after.. it's almost as touch distracts my nerves so that they don't send pain signals anymore, but the second touch stops, the pain is back. I have no idea what to do. My doctor refuses to prescribe me anything besides ibuprofen. She once gave me tramadol, but I become violently ill when taking it.
