Hi everyone,
I’m looking to better understand the symptoms I’m experience, not a diagnosis just opinions or feedback to if this sounds similar to experiences you or others may have. Currently seeing a Spine specialist, GP, Pain mgmt - Soon will be seeing a Rheumatologist and Neurologist I've had upper back pain near my neck for about 10 years that I let hang around, never testing or treating it. Also know, I've trained in the gym as a bodybuilding for nearly 20 years as well and never witnessed these symptoms. Now I'm trying to understand a new onset of symptoms, with recent tests Bloodwork, MRI of entire back and neck and X-rays which show the below:
The spine specialist I'm seeing thought there could be a nerve that is compressed possibly. So I received an epidural injection in my cervical area, no relief. I’m confused on how such an onset of symptoms can come on so abruptly.
The pain area constantly rotates and is hard to explain the type of pain: The pain can be sharp shooting, sore ache, electric pinch pain All of these symptoms came on literally two weeks after a medial branch nerve block injection, coincidence I assume... |

Hello,
Your first line, (I've had upper back pain near my neck for about 10 years that I let hang around, never testing or treating it. Also know, I've trained in the gym as a bodybuilding for nearly 20 years ) made me wonder about Thoracic outlet syndrome.. We have forum about that condition if you want to explore the sticky threads to learn more.. But some of your list of symptoms don't match up. But it also could be multiple issues.. You might use our search tool to look for injection or vaccination caused issues.. https://www.neurotalk.org/search.php You might look into expert chiropractic for the neck , they can adjust more than only the spine.. Or expert PT or bodyworker.. maybe acupuncture? Doctors have become so specialised that sometimes I think they don't see the whole person. Sometimes tests & imaging don't show a clear cause.
