Chronic Pain members - Welcome, please introduce yourself

If you're nerve canals are collapsing pushing on your vertebrae which is pinching your nerves a chiropractor will not fix that type of situation. Only if it's an alignment situation can a chiropractor help but if it's collapsed the nerve canals you got to get it tested with an MRI with contrast. If you're asking for help this is what I personally would advise but I'm not a doctor as I'm only a patient that has gone through what you're going through.

I can always say that an MRI with contrast of your lower part of your pelvic area and see if you have a condition called arachnoiditis which doctors don't want to show it or give it that advice cuz that's what surgery causes in most cases. You need to get tested for that and that's what I recently found out after the surgeons would give me that test and I insisted on it and sure enough it showed up. I hope you don't have it but at least get tested

@peach414144 Glad to hear this as a good chiropractor will help . Hope you get as good as before . When I fractured my back at work I thought it just slipped out and drove to see my chiropractor he said you have a fracture so he sent my into the hospital E.R. for xray my other Dr. took over then . So if there is a problem he cant fix he will be honest with you . Let me know how your feeling then . Make sure you tell him as you did here .

Yes, thank you peach

@rwinney Hi Rachel, I am curious about the pain book you referenced. What is the title & author? I appreciate it! .......Karen

Hello Karen
It's a book on Small Fiber Neuropathy. Is that your diagnosis?

Hi I am Ginger. I have autoimmune issues and also chronic pain. I also have arthritis issues. I also have small fiber nueropathy, renaulds. How does everyone deal with pain and fatigue?

I am surprised by the comment on heart issues from injections. Planning on getting them this winter at Mayo in the neck, also ablation.

I haven't found anyone that wants to deal with my pain except for mentally and xercise. I'm contemplating moving to location where I can get medical marijuana or just be able to purchase it
legally without having to go through a doctor it seems that that's what they're pushing us to do good luck all I can do is pray for you too

Hello again. My name is Lisa. I have an old injury, unreported work injury that has caused me a nerve problem in one finger. Sounds small I know. But one finger is taking my quality of life. It causes so much pain. One day it may cause me a heart attack. I use CBD oil. That soothes it. I used to wrap my fingers. Then wrapped my hand. I have moved that wrap up now this is after years fyi...now I wrap up to my elbow-arm pit. Somehow it relieves my finger almost completely. Until last night I was making a meatloaf and was crumbling crackers in both hand and it just sent me to the moon in pain. The whole hand burned and I have been having almost non stop burning in my finger. My hand is warm. I just dunno. I am last to get help because I am a care giver. This will stop me from getting help today as well. Thought I would share.:(
