1 ReactionHello,
Unfortunately the spasms continue each week with intermittent high level of pain. About every 4 months I have pain too severe to work or sit or stand or lay down. Prescribed meds do t help and really don’t want to be admitted for an IV drip just to go back home. I end up taking 1-2 days from work and stay hydrated. It takes several days to ‘fully recover’. I’ve told my wife the region is never not in a triggered state with a little pain mixed in, and waiting for the next big spasm.
No trend found in foods. Nothing found that exacerbates the spasms aside from stress but even that isn’t a constant trigger. It remains very frustrating, like a spare pick was left inside me, but doesn’t always reveals itself….
Sorry to hear you’re going through this too. If I ever find something that works or the real cause I will gladly share
Have any of your doctors suggested treatment for possible "migraines" or "cluster headaches"? God bless you and praying for you to get relief.
Thank you so much for replying. It’s 16 days now and not getting any better. Did you also get indigestion and bloating? If so did that improve and how long did it take. This is all very frustrating. You must be fed up a few years down the line.
Thank you he sent me a message. Very helpful.
My name is Sue and I am planning on having a Saphenous Nerve Neurectomy below my knee to eliminate pain caused by nerve compression. I have had two nerve blocks which provided 4-5 hours of pain relief. Any advice?
Hi Everyone. Im Kitty and I’m new here. Searching for answers and support! I was diagnosed with Degenerative Disc Disease. I had the Anterior Cervical Disection and Fusion. I have been in constant pain for over a year with Occipital Neuralgia. So far nothing works well
Hi @kitty70 -- I can't solve your issue, but I can tell you I had occipital neuralgia for two years non-stop about 15 years ago. It was intense. I went to see a neurologist because I was beginning to think I had a brain tumor. He told me it was occipital neuralgia and that that typically stems from neck issues. I did have some neck issues so it made sense. The only good news I can share with you is it suddenly went away at some point. It was so long ago and I've had so many disorders that I don't remember any specifics about what I may have done differently. Every now and then I have a brief flare up for a day or two, but that is rare even though I still have neck issues. I hope yours goes away too!!! There is hope!

1 ReactionHi, no I have not. I recently, found out about the genome sequencing by certain mayo clinics, however I would have to travel and that all, would be costly in my position. I was hoping there was possibly one that I could either send my blood or saliva to, I do not know? I am pretty much at this point , without adequate pain meds & all my so many health issues ....live in unbearable chronic pain to degree pain is forcing me to be in bed because movement is impossible creating pain to worsen & it is pure torture. When it starts getting worse the pinky side palm of my hands turn dark pink.
