Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical care. In fact, about 3 in 4 adults will experience back pain during their lifetime!

It frightens me that my arm and hand feels like ice is running in my veins. My new doctor told me he can't think of why this should be happening. However, when I look it up on the internet it says that coldness can be due to a blockage or pinched nerve resulting in loss of strength. I am currently trying to find a new pain management doc to see if they will do something.
I have exactly the same problem. My blood pressure even drops in my arm if I am laying down. I pinch stuff in my should blades all the time and can't move my neck. But they diagnos me with lower back pain after the accident and that's all they will look at. 3 years now and can't get a CAT scan, MRI or anything. My seizure disorder returned after the accident, they say that my lower back wouldn't cause it. I KNOW, cause it is my upper back and neck, that is why I can't move my neck most days, have m^&^(* head aches and keep complaining. Keep pushing feel free to print this off and tke it to your doctor and tell him IT IS NOT IN YOUR HEAD (or lower back) and you are not the only one!!!
Take care & God bless
