Hello, Thank you for your very kind message,i have pain from a bad fall which ended up being alot worse than the doctor,s originally thought,i fell down the stair,s because i was ill with a kidney infection,when i got to the bottom of the stairs my left clavicle took the full impact of the wall,i ended up with what the doctor,s thought was just a simple clavicle fracture,after four weeks of going back and forth to the fracture clinic,a very rude doctor told me,"i think it,s just a case of you being a slow healer and with a low tolarance of pain!" however i will admit you and pop a few screws into the fracture site,after being admitted i was operated on, a very sheepish consultant came to see me and explained it was not a simple fracture,in fact my clavicle was shattered! i was in theatre for 5+hr,s! i had a full metal plate and 9screws fitted, sadly within week,s i was re-admitted with a bone infection and to have the plate and screws removed,i went to physio they gave up on me!![ the physio told my husband if the doctor had done his job properly,your wife would not be in this mess now!]i also have several herniated disc,s in my lower lumber regieon,on top of that lot not only do i have limited movement in my left shoulder i also have renal failure and many more problem,s with my health!! sorry it was a bit long winded but that,s me a walking talking pain filled person who get,s so tired that i don,t want to go on anymore [sometime,s when the pain is literally driving me nuts!]i get days when i think of ending it all but i can,t because i look at my son and i think to myself,"You selfish sod there are people who are worse off than you! yet all i can do is moan!" to be honest had it not been for my son,i know for sure i would not be here today. As no doubt you will understand,i get so frustrated and angry,i just want my old life back where i worked and where i was a happy mum and wife not this bad tempered wreak i am now! it literally drives you mad!! that,s why i like this site because i know i,m not alone with my pain,i know there are many worse of than me,for that reason give,s me the strength to keep going and of course my husband and son. I hope you are doing alot better than me!!,i have to go now,thank you for your message i hope you are ok and when i am online i will look out for you,sorry about letting steam off!! take care warm regards Sharon

Close Chronic Pain
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about 15 years ago after a horse fell on me...and after years of struggling with it last year it became more severe with new "weird" things happening. My doc sent me to the neurologist who decided that I had quite probably been misdiagnosed all those years ago and that in fact had MS instead. After testing diagnosis was “probable MS”. I exercise, rest, take Dr. recommended supplements (not drugs, vitamins and minerals), massage, chiropractic and acupuncture.
Treatments
- Chiropractic Adjustment Working / Worked
- Acupuncture Working / Worked
- it helps a lot. I go about once a month. at first it was every week...then every two...
- Reiki Working / Worked
- I have a very good friend that is also an LMT...she does energy work with me and that helps tremendously.

Open TMJ
Not sure what exactly started it...it could have been the horse fall 15 years or so ago since the right side of my face hit the ground (around the jaw and ear) and the horses neck and head hit the left side...but when it really started hurting on a regular basis was after some dental work...first time a dentist had EVER literally JACKED my jaws open...for over an hour...
