I have been having upper back/neck pain, left arm pain and almost constant head aches for almost 3 years now. I have seen multiple doctors, several rounds of physical therapy and multiple steriod injects with no success. I recently went to a neraligist who wanted me to have another MRI because it had been two years since my first MRI and he said the technology has gotten better. He reviewed the new MRI and said I had bone spurs on my spine in my neck that is causing the pain in my arm and found I have a CSF leak causing my head problems.

He refered me to a new pain managment doctor who suggested he giving me another steriod inject and hope it heals on its own and perscribered me 2 lortab 10 a day. It is a month later and had no relief from the arm or head pain. The tabs help but I am still in allot of pain. I am curious to those who have the same condition what meds help and how much do you need to take. I plan on setting up a follow up apt with my pain doc and I'm not sure what is wants to try next.

I found this forum a couple days ago and it's a relief finding others with the exact symptoms that I have been dealing with. Thanks for your help.
