THIS PAST MARCH I HAD A SPINAL CORD STIMULATOR IMPLANTED. MY DOCTOR SAID THEY LOOKED FOR SOMEWHERE AROUND 75% PAINFREE. WELL, I AM NOW 100% PAINFREE. I CONSIDER IT A MIRACLE. YOU CAN'T IMAGINE HOW IT FELT AFTER BEING IN CONSTANT PAIN FOR SO LONG.
I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT ANYONE THAT SUFFERS FROM CHRONIC PAIN ANYWHERE ON THEIR BODY, RESEARCH THE SPINAL CORD STIMULATOR.View Thread

I am 28 year male. I developed neck, shoulder and arm pain about 5 months ago (last week of Jan 2011). I lifted a 80 lb weight in gym I think that's was the cause. In Jan, i had lot of pain (9/10 on scale) while standing and setting in the chair (for 2 weeks) my doctor looking at my MRI scan which showed little bit of bulge in disc in between C5 & C6 - referred me to physiotherapist eventually the pain reduced but didn't become zero... whenever i do any activity using my right arm the pain reoccurs.. Today again after 5 months i went to gym started doing some free weight exercise within 3 hours the pain has become intense it's painful to turn my head to the right or stretch my neck from side to side. the pain is traveling from neck to shoulder and move down the arm.
In between i went chiropractor for 2nd opinion while going to physiotherapist and nothing worked out.
I am wondering it would be problem with the nerve that goes from neck or cervical to arm which has got affected.. I am confused whether should i consult a chiropractor or neurologist for this problem.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks

Also Crestor for cholesterol, Singulair , Claritin and inhalers for asthma. I am convinced that Opana has something like a withdrawal effect when the first dose starts to wear off and that is when I have the sweating and hot flashes. My docs don't believe Opana would do this. I have a lot of meds there and something is interacting with something else and I believe it is the Opana that makes me sweaty. I feel it is not worth taking but I dread going off of it. (it has also been VERY constipating.)View Thread
For the past 2 days my girlfriend has been having sharp pains in both of her calfs. She says they're both a little swollen and the pain "paralyzed her legs." It started yesterday and severely intensified today. It only hurts while standing/laying down and extending.
I realize this isn't really possible to diagnose but any ideas for course of action?
Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks!View Thread
