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.

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

@suerc You have a lot going on. 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
