why did it set off such a terrible series of events? seven years of burning terrible pain in head neck spine arms shoulders tailbone and now outside of legs. don't know who to see or what to do anymore.
no one believes how bad it is and no help is on the way. on Neurontin and Cymbalta which help a little.
same old, just hoping someone new might look and have a suggestion because I don't leave the house anymore, between the dizziness and the pain.
crazy thing, left side of face turned red after prec with and never turned back. and always burns.
have NEVER heard or read of any of this after prec with.

Hi Mark,
Sorry to hear that you are in discomfort. Praying for relief so your body can heal.
Have you ever thought of Chiropractic? Especially Chiropractor's that deal with the neck and cervical spine?
I had a stroke of my right eye. Optic neuritis (swollen optic nerve) that left my eye with deficiency in my periphrial vision and haveperception issues.
While I have been told by my Opthalmologist that I had "ischemic optic neuropathy, the deficit is permanent, the pain in my neck, tingling and numbness in my face is possibly caused by the nerves in my face, hence nerves being pinched by the cervical vertebrae and arthritis in my spine.
Since I have been going to my UCC (upper cervical chiropractor) specialist, my pain and numbness is less than it was 6 months ago. I am optimistic that with time, and with his help to keep the spine aligned, that my body will heal itself.
Hope this helps and if you do decide to try a chiropractor who specializes in upper cervical impingements, let us know how it has helped you.
I never believed in chiropractors. But since I have a good one, I am a big believer of Chiropractic now and they do more for me than my dr's and their pills.
It makes sense, that if you step on a hose full of water, what does it do? It stops the flow and backs up. That is what your spine does when it has nerves being pinched and cutting off the oxygen and blood supply needed to nourish our bodies naturally. Once that pressure is off, things flow natually again.
Give it a try! Can't hurt. It does not hurt at all, the first time I went, I actually felt taller than when I went in. I found that I breathe better too.
Good Luck and God Bless you Mark
