Went to physio today. I told the physiotherapists about all the pain, reaching very high levels and not being able to function. I am glad to say no more cervical traction!!! She took it easy on me and between increasing my gabapentine and the ultrasound, heat and ice my pain levels are back to about a level 6.Di I also have a bag of frozen peas, and lots of ice-paks. I will try your idea!!! I also asked the therapist about a mri verus a mra. She said she would and could answer questions about this on Thursday(some reasearch). You guys are so good to me. Honestly the support all have given is TRULY APPRECIATED FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. BIG HUGS< BUT GENTLE!!!
