I have been researching pain clinics in the Lexington,Ky. area,and I have found one that has some very promising procedures. I really got burned out last year when the rhizotomy didn't work and quit going to that one.This one has alot more to offer,so i think I'll give it a try. If I could just get half my quality of life back,it would be so worth it. I am trying lidoderm patches now and I will see if that helps. Hanginon,I didn't know you had that surgery. I wish I could tell you that everything will be okay,but if mine is any indication it is a domino effect. If I had it to do over again,I would have quit working then. I think if I had not went back to work,and not did all the lifting i did on the farm,it may have been successful. So far I haven't run across anyone who has had %100 success. Maybe you will be the exception,I hope so. Now they have the artificial cervical disc,and i chatted with someone who had it done,and she says so far so good.

I do the myofacial pain therapy once a week along with the alignment every month it helps alot!!!! Without it I really don't know what I would do. I have both appointments Thursday so excited, because for the last two weeks my therapist has been off because she hurt her hand. So I am really in pain now.

I get swollen like balls around the hairline of my neck. I had a extreme headache on monday, now I am home for 2 days with extreme fatigue, muscle leg pain and exhaustion. I was hurt at work 3 years ago, nerve damage in my shoulder, and I was recently handed FM. My doc said it was because of the injury, the orthopedic just found 2 tears in my shoulder that are 3 years old from the same injury. I am wondering what else will come from this.

I am only getting this on the left side, I usually get them every other day. The day after I'm exhausted and everything aches especially my neck and shoulder. Yesterday was the achey day now today it's the migraine. I see a new rumo dr on monday. I have no injuries, surgeries, nothing. The mri's I had done no tears, disc problems nothing. I am just so confused on what is causing this much pain.
