Oh I do and it's horrible. I go to the chiropractor religiously every month and if it starts getting really bad before my next appointment I just call and I go in that day. Now with having fibro it hurts like hell when he is actually adjusting me but afterwards I feel great!
Only relief I get is my electric heatpad that straps around my neck&waist so reduces pain on shoulders&back.
As for sitting 2long..no cure...if I sit any length of time the pain atarts in my neck..shoulders..spine & into my butt....then spasms start.
Keep moving from hip to hip. Stretch legs...crack knees & just change position..
I don't have the answer for your question but if anyone has any suggestions I would like to know. I have a problem with walking and sitting but not as bad when I sit.
I started with shots from the local Pain Center. They would hold for a while. Then surgery followed - that lasted a few years - psiatica combined with arthritis is painful, so I feel for you!
Sitting on a hard chair, feet shoulder width apart & reaching for the floor & holding there for about a minute helped, especially when done immediately after an activity. Still does for muscle pain in my case!
Hugs to all!!
sorry, hit the wrong key. a saddle embolis in my lungs. They cant do the procedure while i was on coumadin. Since i went to the cardiologist, he put me on xarelto and said i will be on it for some time. i read on the patient insert that i should not have any kind of lumbar injections due to possible internal bleeding. so i guess i am stuck with the pain.
