    • Close Chronic Pain

      Would be nice if doctors were all on the same page. NOT. Really funny that after 5 years a doctor discovers a fracture... hmmm. Reason for the pain all these years! But no one will reread the x-rays - the fear I believe is a malpractice suit. Go figure!

      Treatments

      Acupressure Somewhat Helpful
      When I tried it.
      Chiropractic Adjustment Working / Worked
      Worked then I went downhill and quit that treatment. Too sore!
      Flexeril Working / Worked
      Good drugs... take them if I absolutely need to sleep. So ... a 60 pill prescription has lasted me 5-7 months. Not good for you these drugs. Get stupid .. can not think the next day or stay awake.
      Heat Working / Worked
      Works for certain pain for me.
      Meditation Considering
      Could help with stress which will reduce pain.
      Morphine Not Working
      Allergic to it!
      Naproxen Not Working
      Stomach hates it!
      Physical Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      Lasted for 2 years ... then no more of that. Wasn't progressing.
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      Every day to help move.
    • Close Back Pain

      My back pain due to a work related accident has destroyed my life as I knew it! I do not know how people find the strength to continue? I am still here - injury is going on 5 years now... but some days... I really rather not deal with it!

      Treatments

      Acupressure Not Working
      Didn't help
      Acupuncture Not Working
      Useless for me.
      Bedrest Not Working
      More pain - so I do not stay in bed - then I am exhausted all the time.
      Chiropractic Adjustment Somewhat Helpful
      Has it's moments... at least I can move my kneck after those treatments which are still weekly.
      Cortisone (Injection) Somewhat Helpful
      Was able to sleep on my right side for a while - but I have been waiting over a year to get back in. That will be tomorrow.
      Heat Somewhat Helpful
      Do that everyday to start moving. Once I can sit in my chair with the pad in it.
      Ibuprofen Somewhat Helpful
      Tylenol - had to take these yesterday. Sat at a table on my break - couldn't not get back up. A co-worker helped me. Went to my desk and started taking Tylenol for the rest of my shift.
      Physical Therapy Not Working
      Was in Physio for over year - just didn't get better. Massage therapy for over 2 years - didn't do much either.
      Stretching Somewhat Helpful
      Have to stretch everyday or I can not get to work.
