30plusretlaw said... I was told that there's no pinch nerves on my neck or back. I'm very, very frustrated. I don't think the docs believe me. I wish we could switch bodies for a day and then ask...
Sunny13 said... BPS-- Sorry to hear the treatment isn't working as you had hoped it would. Don't give up on it yet! Sounds like you have a very busy life. Not sure what kind of work you do, but if...
Thanks Straydog, I'll take a look. I'm going to my follow up appointment today. My left side of my back is more sore now than it has been in a while. I don't know if it is because I have been too...
This is one reason why whenever I'm leaving the house for a day or extended time period, I count out the medications I need for that time period and maybe an extra day or two worth and I put those in...
Update: I'm still sore on my left side. Been a little over 3 weeks now. Doc said it is still a little early, that the nerves may still be dieing. I was hoping it would have done a bit better than...
OK, I'm back at work this morning. Back is a little sore from where they did the procedure. More/less feels bruised with a slight tightness. I figure the tightness is my muscles in the area trying to...
Are you keeping it elevated at all times and keeping a cold pack on it as long as you can stand it? Do you have an old pair of crutches or a cane laying around to help you move around. If it is...
Jenni, I'm sorry you're in so much pain. I can't imagine what you're going through....

nvrthesame98 said... Yes to consult appointments Jen,many dont write meds. This is a appointment where both parties are discovering and evaluating. The Drs merely getting an idea if your a patient he...
Sounds like a bad situation to be in. I had this happen when I first started having major issues (muscle spasms in lower back). I had some pain killers that my family doctor had prescribed and went...
new to this forum as of today. Name is Carl. I have a bulging disc at L4/L5 area that I've dealt with off/on since 2008, but have been on pain killers and muscle relaxers since Dec 2010. I've had...
I guess it really depends on the meds, but I would also think that the pharmacy would have to address that on the label of the bottle. Obviously here in TX it isn't illegal for me. I've been on...
Kind of sad to say this, but it is nice to have a forum like this and see others that deal with the same kind of issues and know I'm not alone. If you haven't experienced this kind of pain (back...
FWIW, I have been able to work a normal schedule through all of this. I am an MIS Specialist, which is essentially a glorified computer tech with a few additional responsibilities. The only time from...
I signed up for this forum today after seeing another thread about this procedure, but I guess it's too old for me to post in, so I started a new thread. My name is Carl and I'm in the Houston, TX...
