Herniated disc pain, with some nerve compression,any relief, treatment that’s effective without pain meds?
after a car accident I had 4 herniated discs. I suffer severe headaches on the temperal lobes and at the occipital ridge. Neck has limited rom with pain/pinching after repeated movements. occassionally i experience pain/numbness/tingling/weakness in the left arm that radiates to the thumb and index finger. The area between the shoulder blades feels like buring pain and sometimes causes spasms of the Lats. I am exhausted can’t sleep in any position without taking prescription meds and the next day feel unclear, groggy, easily irritated. I can’t do what I have in the past and I can’t rely on others to do things for me, its frustrating.Have you hade similar problems? What do you do to treat this without medications?I’m tired of being in pain every hour of every day. I need some long term relief.please.
I too have back and cervical herniations and arthritis. It hurts bad. I take oxycodone, and Soma along with Celebrex. My pain specialist has given me epidural injections in my neck and back. The relief is temporary but helps a great deal. There is no escaping pain meds perhaps a different med might help you. Pain specialists can help you there as well. My pain specialist is the greatest and I found them to be very compassionate. I think you know what I mean about that. See about a referall to a pain specialist and they will discuss injections.
Chiropractic care is quackery in some regards but the hands on approach does offer some benefit. Heat packs, tens units, and massage help.
