Chronic ice pain, neck ,back and RSD

Posted by suerc @suerc, May 20, 2019

I am hopi g to get some advice here. I have terrible chronic pain. 1st from RSD . I have a pain stimulator for that. Last Juky I had a burst compression fracture L4. Boating accident. Drs. Wanted to do a 4 level fusion . I wou lb d not let them as I have heard bad things about fusing so I fought to heal it with pt. I yr s healed now but I do have pain. But I think less than a fusion would be. I also had cervical neck stenosis about
5 yrs ago . They did do a gate fusion at the time there.
Here is my problem in March of this yr. I fell on my face in Houston. I got a concussion Jared my neck bad.my pain dr Xrayed and didn't see anything broken. She sent me for a Esi injection and a occipital injection as I have been getting very bad headaches also. It helps for a few weeks but the pain is back badly. I don't want more surgery but I am 60 and I hurt fro. Head to toe.

I had back fracture DDD bulging disc and other back problems I use a cream rub which is Arinica , but add to it 10 drops of lavender,frankensense ,eucalyptus,and peppermint all are essential oils It really helps relief for hours Don't forget the other tools,ginger-turmeric tea,Ice ,heat hot showers since we don't work guess we needed something to occupy our time lol good luck that's some of the things I do forget Epsom salt

@suerc Good morning Go to drugstore you can buy the arnica cream not the gel then you need to buy the oils and mix into the arnica cream. Some drugstore like Walgrens carries some esential oils or go on line type in Jens essential oils Amazon carries them too.

Hi I am sorry to hear about what you are going through and all the pain I too have RSD and what I've been told is June on ice with RSD it can actually make it worse I was told by a couple of doctors so I do heat I don't know if that's going to be any help to you but I saw that you wrote about icing and RSD so I just wanted to try and help you out with that I hope you begin to heal
