I haven't been in an kind of accident. I have degenerative disk disease and I believe it runs in my family, and I also have scoliosis. I am only 34 and I hate having to deal with so much pain on a day to day basis. It is mentally, emotionally and physically exhausting. I found a top of the line Neurosurgeon but he doesn't accept my insurance. Most of the doc's I've seen for some reason keep saying MRI is normal, and nothing is too worry about. I've had lot's of blood work done before the MRI and I don't have any lyme disease or arthritis. The best I can describe the pain in my hand joints is like sharp fingernails pinching you til it REALLY hurts, and it's all day everyday.
Some days it radiates to my arms and some days it doesn't. I am to see my PCP thursday and I am hoping to again for the umteenth time to get a top of the line "Someone" as I don't know who to see anymore.
