Omg!!!!
 

How many years? The neuroma surgeries....the multiple drug usage...the skin biopsy...the EMG's....the MGUS....all the angst....the what the HECK is this? Some things just didn't fit any mold. No progression...that does happen...but, no sensitivity to the sheets in bed...or any sensitivity.
However....sitting caused zaps and burning etc. But...this guy's had a lousy back for years. Stopped the elliptical....stopped my daily walk around the lake....kept taking my aleve....and? My feet do NOT hurt. Of course...my arthritis in my spine is also under control. OMG! Lyrica....Tramadol....Oxycodone!!!!! bigger...wider shoes....all of it.....and....NO PAIN. Two weeks now....no pain. Not doing any exercise..but no pain....what do I DO?

What to do? SEE and FIND a top notch ....
 

Physcial therapist....one who deals with motion issues as well as fitness issues. Sports therapy has come a very long way in the last 5-10 years! From gait analysis to postural motions...Interesting stuff really.
Of course, like finding doctors? Finding good physical therapists can be equally as hard, but well worth it!
IF it is a back issue? This tho an old book is a keeper!
http://www.amazon.com/Oh-My-Aching-B...0925316&sr=1-2
It IS a period piece in ways about some treatments? But at the same time, the exercises are non-stressful and build up all the right muscle groups...most of which you can do lying down on your bed. I've gotten copies of this book for at least five people and all have run it past their docs for approval. All stated that the exercises are productive and unlikely to do more damage.
I con't have back pain because of this book, and I should! Also? It's kind of a pre-cursor to 'pilates' w/o the hype. Cheap, easier than lots of other alternatives.
BTW? It does have an excellent explanation of how the back works, and how it can go wrong and where. - Hope it helps - j

More like a handle on the pain for me. What is the abnormality? There is without a doubt a tear, a misconfiguration, slight disconnect somewhere in and around my upper spine. I think a lot of this came on from having a kyphosis in my Thoracic spine impinging on some nerves that snapped, tore, or stretched. If I swing my arms a certain way or walk for a period of time, I will feel the tear, numbness, shocks everything. If I don't take it easy for awhile this becomes worse and I get breathing problems and all sorts of nasty symptoms.

If I am careful what I do and how I exert myself, not too bad. My biggest wish would be to be able to describe this to any doctor who cared and could help. I don't know what might be able to be done, but if it could be pinpointed, there are healing mechanisms that might help. Lasers in the infrared wavelength have been shown to regenerate nerves in the tansected spinal cord of a rats. As well as other things might be able to try.

Hmmmmmm
 

OKaaaaaaay
