My MRI showed bulging disc in my T6, T11, T12.... I'm starting to wonder is the pain i feel in my upper back and ribs coming from bulging disc and not fibro? Anyone else have this going on?
So sad to think of you in so much ongoing pain, and no successful remedy for it. Have you tried Acupuncture at all? Sometimes if it is nerve related then a few trips to a good Acupuncturist can alleviate it a lot - maybe not entirely all at once, but over time it should help. Is something for you to think about, and maybe your health insurance can help foot the bill also
HI yes I have a triple bulging herniated disc as well. I also have neck and lower back stenosis or tightening of the cord around the nerves in those areas. I think that's what it's called. It's so much it's hard to remember. It makes me wanna cry so I'm a let that be it for now. I'm sorry you have to go thru this pain. I too have often wondered IF that was the cause and NOT fibro even tho' my symptoms match up to that.
You might have a pinched nerve i had 1-5 surgery was whack i dont think its necessary but to each its on
@A MyFibroTeam Member omg that's awful.. I've heard of nerve testing but never zapping things.... I was going to physical therapy for a while and I remember being in so so much pain the day after, I stopped going! Yesterday I saw the chiropractor neurologist and he pushed on my back some, I did laser therapy, shockwave therapy and some machine that vibrated my back.. today I am sore... I go back tomorrow I will discuss it with him... I just want this pain gone!! 🙏🏼
Yes @A MyFibroTeam Member I have been to a Neurologist and stopped because he wanted me off my fentanyl patch and I started to feel like a test monkey with all the gadget things and nerve tests he kept doing on me. One time I got zapped so much I literally felt like dying the next few days. It was a horrible horrible experience. I haven't been back since. I know I need to go but they dont understand what those tests do my body...to my mind. I will never for the day after and how I just lay there in my bed wanting to die from the pain. That zapper thing effected my ENTIRE body.
