I was diagnoised with DISH last april a year ago. I thought it was a double crick on both sides of my neck and I went to a chiropractor and a massage therapist for 2 or 3 months before I went to see an orthopedic doctor here in Fayetteville AR. He sent me for an MRI and it came back that I had " Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperstosis or DISH. They said all my verterbra have fused and ligments are turning to bone. I get an epidural shot in my neck 4 times a year that medicare will pay for. Question ? What type of meds do any of your doctors prescribe for you. The pain I have is like gout on both sides of the back of my head , neck and down back. Its like a vice grabs a hold of me and will not let go. I can exsert my self one day and next day I pay for it with Pain and locking up the turn on my head to 10 degrees.
