Are you seeing a neurologist?

My name is Laura and my husband was talking about me (lol), I am now seeing neurologist who is telling me it's my PTSD that's causing my symptoms, on June 20th I see a neurosurgeon about my neck. There is soft tissues that showed up, and won't know more til then.

@david33 Thanks for providing an update to your treatment. You mention, "soft tissues that showed up" do you mean soft tissue damage? I hope that you appointment on June 20 goes well and you get some answers to his difficult pain problem. Teresa

Actually the 'soft tissue' was found on my wife, somewhere on her neck and head. We don't know what it is until they run more test on her, the only trauma she had to her neck was a whip flash when she tried to learn how to drive and failed, ever sense then she has been having neck pain and pressure. No doctors would listen to her, we wounded up changing doctors and when she showed the doctor her neck he told her to see a neurosurgeon. He found the problem, now it's just a waiting game.

@david33 The "waiting game" is probably the most difficult when you are looking for a treatment plan or diagnosis, isn't it?
David: I know that I was responding to your wife - however, I'm not sure that I have Laura's name for Mayo Connect, it appears that she uses yours. Is that correct? (She can, of course, register for herself if she chooses to get posts directrf to her.)
In any case, I wish you and Laura well and hope that all of her symptoms keep stable until her June 20th appointment. Ask her (or you) to keep in touch as you can. We are here to offer support and encouragement. Best wishes, Teresa

This is Laura, thank you for reaching out. The doctors says there's nothing they can do for me and go to a charopractor and see if my neck is out. I'm not sure if the will help cause the pressure gets bad at times and I have a hard time focusing on things. I'm going to college on like, and when the pressure hits I lag in classes. Does anyone else have this problem or me?

They can't do anything for me, the doctor acted like my pain didn't excist and he diffently has a God's complex.

This might be helpful. I had the same head issues....like a tight band was around my head. Neurologist said it had nothing to do with the cervical fusion and kind of ignored the need for an MRI. This was right after my SFN skin test results and diagnosis. Sooooo....I started meditation and mindfulness whenever the head was bad. I found out that the head pain was really stress related. Now if I feel the band tightening, I stop whatever I am doing or exit an uncomfortable social situation, put in my Lullabies for adults music and do a body scan or simple guided meditation. I am learning how to avoid the head issues by avoiding the cause.....stress. My neurologist was right.

@david33 - Don't you love it when a doctor doesn't believe you!

The electric sensation for me is in my feet - peripheral neuropathy. Have you seen a neurologist or a pain specialist? They have both gone out of their way to find the causes and treatment for my pain. If you don't like the doctors you've seen, you can look online for patient reviews before choosing one. I know of 3 sites - Vitals.com, GoogleScholar, and Lifescripts. They aren't a guarantee of a genuine God's gift, but they can give some clues.

I hope that as you persist in finding a doctor who listens and respects you, you'll be successful.
