My husband has a bulged disc or two in his neck and is getting an appointment scheduled to start trying ESIs (epidural steroid injections) in his neck. Physical therapy seems to be out of the...
Oh yeah, I think it was somewhere near where the neck muscle and shoulder muscle meet that caused his head to jerk....
He has had a few CT scans of his brain but nothing else related to the brain. I have heard of dystonia but don't know what it is. I will look into it. Thanks!...
We have looked into trigger point treatments (massage), and it looked promising. But I tried it while he was having the speech problems, and it caused his neck to jerk violently and looked like...
Hot showers usually increase his pain and make him feel weak. What might that mean?...
Okay - a more generalized question since nobody knows exactly what it is. Who do you go to when you have a mystery condition like this? I've looked for fibro doctors in my area but have found none....
He has had a few CT scans of his brain. Would these show it?...
Edited and reposted from the Fibromyalgia forum My husband has severe pain in a lot of places. The first one that seemed to start it all was in his middle back, right on his spine. He has had so many...
This same doctor has told us that he has tested for MS (presumably via a blood test, I think.) and that it came back negative. But I'm reading on the Mayo site that MS is a disease diagnosed by...
best of all they don't throw the big egos around Wow. :)...

My husband's pain is more severe in certain areas including a spot in the middle of his back. He also has quite a bit of neck pain. Recently, he has started having episodes where he experiences...
My husband has been in severe pain for a long time; and it is getting worse. But none of the doctors seem to believe him. I've read that fMRI can be used to find areas of pain by scanning the brain....
My husband is bipolar, schizophrenic, and has depression. He is also having a lot of physical problems that are quite a handicap. I won't go into details, but he has severe chronic pain and two metal...
Although I myself am not a chronic pain sufferer, being a caretaker of someone with chronic pain, I am starting to experience some of the non-physical (mostly emotional) effects that chronic pain can...
Thanks for you guys' support! We went back to the doctor today to get the results of his MRI and bone scan. (We knew them already; but I wanted to talk to the doctor anyway.) He said the only thing...
My husband has had pain in a spot in his middle (thoracic) back for the past three or four years that has gotten much worse in the past few months. He also has something like five bad discs in his...
