    • Close Sciatica

      I have a slight Bulge in my L4 & L5. I was diagnosed via MRI. The doctor said I had Sciattica. The symptoms only started (really bad shooting leg pain with itching and burning with occasional traveling up thru my arms and neck), between Oct. 16th thru the 26th. On the 27th of October, I ended up getting my 1st Epidural injection and I have 2 more sch. for Nov. 3rd & 17Th. I am also going thru Disc decompression too. The shot is working- so far. How long does it last?

      Treatments

      Ibuprofen Somewhat Helpful
      Advil and Bayer. Bayer really seems to work better for me then Advil.
      Stretching Working / Worked
      I try to stretch every day. I do my stretches before I work out that i worked on it Physical Therapy.
    • Close Back Pain

      I was diagnosed with a slight bulge in my L4/L5. I was mis diagnosed my one doctor who said the disc was pressing on the sciatic nerve, causing my leg pain. I have since been to a spine specialist who said he wishes that his MRI/back was as good and it was not what the original doctor thought. Rather, it was due to how much I exercise- the nerve pain. The nerve runs thru the pelvic region and was causing my outer leg pain- extending to above my knee.

      Treatments

      Acupuncture Somewhat Helpful
      Kind of helped. The 1st time was ok, the 2nd- not so great.
      Bedrest Not Working
      I tried bed rest and it only seemed to aggrivate the problems more! The more active I am, the better everything seems to get! The more I work out, the better I feel! Go figure.
      Chiropractic Adjustment Not Working
      It created too much pain! Actually, more pain after her was thru. No more!
      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      This drug has been a life saver for depression and the nerve pain. I am on 60 mg. once a day. I take it in the A.M. instead of the P.M. I am wired all night and cant sleep if I do take it at night. I know many people have blogged about the side effects they have. I have had dry mouth and the occasional brain zap happen thats it!
      Epidural Injection Somewhat Helpful
      I had a series of 3 EPI's. They only lasted about 8 weeks total but i am greatful for the relief I did get from them.
      Heat Not Working
      Heat only seems to make matter's worse for me! I Ice after each workout and that really seems to help.
      Hydrocodone Working / Worked
      This does work. I have this, but only use it when I need to. Also, only at night, as it makes me very dizzy and tired.
      Ibuprofen Somewhat Helpful
      Advil or Bayer. Bayer seems to work better for what ever reason.
      Physical Therapy Working / Worked
      Physical therapay has helped- WOW. My PT has me doing the Mckenzie Methods and let me tell you, they are a miracle worker! I do these before I work out for aerobics and after as a cool down! I try to do these two to three times daily. I will be incorporating these in to every day life even after I am done with PT!
      Relaxation Not Working
      I hat relaxing. The more active I am, the better! I am a mover!
      Stretching Working / Worked
      Mackenzie Method- Love it! I will keep up with it long after I am done with PT. I read that somewhere, people stop all of what they were taught shortly after they have learned it or are pain free. The goal is to still do it afterwards to continue to help you in the long run!
      TENS Working / Worked
      This seems to have helped. Feels a little funny when it is done, but it really does help.
    • Open Pregnancy - Teens

      I was 15 & I went with my family on vacation and ended up having sex with a guy I met at the beach and got pregnant. I told my mom after I missed my period. Mom then took me to our family doctor to see how far along I was. I was 10 weeks at the time. A few weeks later, I went back to the doctors with really bad stomach cramps and ended up miss carrying there in the office. I saw everything. That was the worst, seeing the baby that I was supposed to have.

    • Open Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I was diagnosed with depression in high school. I was picked on all the time for dressing differently, following my own drummer and just being my self. I also tried to commit suicide my sophmore year because my parents were fighting so much and would put me in the middle, trying to make me take sides. thankfully, they are ding better in the marriage department!

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      I was recently put on Cymbalta for nerve pain and depression/anxiety. It really has helped keep me on a even keel emmotinaly and has helped a great deal with the nerve pain I get due to sicatic like symptoms in my hips, due to the nerve that passes thru the hip region. Currently, I am on 60 mg.
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      Sometimes positive thinking works. Some days, you just have a bad day and nothing works!
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      At times, it helped. After a period though, it just didn't seem like talking to someone I really didn't know, helped. I felt that after sometime, I was being judged and annalyzied instead of trying to help out.
      Writing Working / Worked
      To this day, I still write. I write poetry and try to journal as much as I can.
      Zoloft Somewhat Helpful
      Zoloft was helpful for a while, then it seemed to mot work after taking it for a long time.
    • Open ADHD / ADD

      I was diagnosed with Non Hyper Attention Defficet disorder around age 7. I was tested at Case Western Reserve after a teacher told my parents i had difficulty paying attention in classes and with math.

      Treatments

      Music Working / Worked
      Singing, acting and dancing also being active in quior in high school and college was a great thing. I would love to join my church's quior this fall, if time permits!
      Zoloft Working / Worked
      I was on this for several reasons. To help with depression concentration and PMDD. After a while it just seemed to stop working.

      This is really working. i am on it for depression nerve pain and it does help with concentration on daily tasks and at work.

    • Open Acne

      I had acne in high school & used a variety of different products, much- of witch I can't remember now! I want to say Ten-O-Six was a big favorite of mine a the time? Now, I use products by Neutraena. I had a good while were my skin was great, i hit 30 & hellooo, adult acne! Any suggestions?

      Treatments

      AcneFree Somewhat Helpful
      Worked for about a month, then- NADA!
      Benzoyl Peroxide Somewhat Helpful
      It works for a while, oxy, Ten-O-Six, Stridex- etc. I end up getting really bad dry patches all over my face.
      Dermabrasion Not Working
      I tried an over the counter kit made by Loreal. Yep, I was pink and chappy looking for a good week? I thought about going to the dermatoloist, but my co pay for a derm with health insurance.... is enough to make you cry! A dermatoloist is listed as a specialist on my health insurance & way too expensive for me to o that route right now!
      Proactiv Considering
      I have heard really positivley wonderful thins about this product BUT a bit scared to try it because I am afraid that it will dry my skin out too! i believe it has Benzoyol Peroxide in it too???? Plus, it is super expensive!
      Retin-A Not Working
      I was beet red! It took away the acne, but it also made me look sunburned and chapped for weeks! My skin actually peeled from Retin-A!
      Washing Working / Worked
      Of Course I wash my face! It just likes to REBEL durring the day.... and play acne hockey at night!
