Default What's this new pain?
Hi Gang,

As some of you know, I suffered a TBI, extensive nerve damage and a buffet of other injuries is a serious car accident a few years ago.

As a result, where I have sensation, I have a lot of nerve pain. It feels electrical - like being tasered a few dozen times a day.

Recently I've noticed a new pain. It's hot and it feels like a line of prickles are rubbing against my skin. I experience this mostly on my back. When it first happened, I'd ask my husband to look, thinking I'd developed shingles or something, but there was nothing there. While the pain was initially intermittant, it's now there all the time.

By the way, I'm drugged up more than Elvis, so I'm probably giving a rather muted discription of this new ouchy.

Any ideas what this is?

Thanks

Questions to help figure it out-

How long ago was your last MRI /xray?
Did it cover the area that is showing these new sx?
What did it show then? anything or all OK

spine /nerves chart

enlarge it for easier reading

I'm just wondering if a nerve is getting a little pinch or compression and causing this.

I'm not that up on shingles but I do think it shows as a rash or something at some point.

Can you answer Jo*Mar's questions for one thing.

Next I would look into whether some mild type exercises aggravate
or help it.

It's 2 weeks since you posted this Hockey, so was wondering how you were now.

Has the pain eased at all, or have you had to go back to your doctor about it?

Do check in and let us know that you're OK.
