I did have complete spinal MRI and brain. Everything was normal except: C spine disc herniations at c5-6 and c6-7, straightening of the normal lordosis. L spine disc desiccation at L-4-5 and L5-S1 (Mild left neural foramina narrowing) L-4-5 concentric disc bulge and bilateral facet hypertrophy and annular fissure. Straightening of the normal lordosis. NY Columbia spine surgeon and other neurologists told me that my neck problems, pain, scalene+ trap spasms, shoulder pain, all kinds of gnawing electrical activity, twitches, elbow and arm pain..... are not due to these discs. They say that it has to due with autoimmune process/ neuropathy disorder-idiopathic SFN, but have no answers. The spine surgeon said to keep going to docs till I get one that wants to figure this out. From what I read, I have so many of the symptoms of herniated discs in addition of course to all of the neuropathy. My local upstate orthopedist thinks I should give it more time. He says if the pain in my arms, shoulders, and neck is due to the discs it could take 18 months. From what I was told at first that it was 6-8 weeks. |

Treatment with copper should be done with doctor's supervision.
Typically 2mg a day is what is suggested. Treating with copper may affect zinc levels. So having a zinc/copper ratio done is advised. I would not supplement by yourself with this mineral... get the doctor to supervise you. This is a good monograph on copper... please read it carefully. http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/infocenter/minerals/copper/
