    What does the pain feel like? I’ve received an MRI report from the radiologist that says I have adhesive arachnoiditis. I’ve tried to address this with my neurosurgeon but he has repeatedly gaslit me everytime I asked him to address it. I’m in horrible pain and it’s beginning to spread to my other leg and genital region. I strongly believe I am symptomatic due to this condition but I’m wondering if there is any distinction in symptoms from sciatica. I’m trying to tell the difference between the two.

      I have burning pain, muscle spasms and cramps, my back will seize up and my left leg from the knee down is numb, my right from the knee down is desensitized, and my right arm is starting to lose sensations as well. I have sciatica pain when standing, too, it will burn from my butt to my ankle.

    I am right now trying acupuncture. Though my insurance doesn't cover it, my insurance does cover the provider who is giving me the acupuncture treatments. So I may end up getting a discount. Not sure if this is going to be a long-term help but I'm giving it a try it which was strongly recommended by my primary care physician as this doctor who specializes in it is in her practice. I do have some money set aside that even if my insurance doesn't cover it I will for a while be able to go to these appointments. I've only been to two so I can't say for sure it's helping yet. But she has been able to short-circuit and Target some of my migraines when I've been in her office these last two times. I went today for my second visit.

And it really triggered a lot of the other pains in my body that had kind of been dormant for a bit. It actually made me feel worse. So I told my husband I can't do it anymore so that was the end of that but at least I gave it a try. Cuz my husband had been wanting me to try acupuncture.

      Acupuncture did not go well. Caused much more pain. Issues that had been dormant for a while resurfaced again. Actually caused wrist pain that I was only having occasionally, now almost daily. This was only after 2 sessions. I canceled any further treatments since I only had one for this week. I should be receiving an explanation of benefits from my insurance company, though acupuncture was not covered under my policy the provider who did the treatments was covered so I'm curious whether I will end up getting any kind of discount or have to pay the entire amount out of my pocket. If I do have to pay the entire amount it will be almost $200 just for two visits. Maybe it would work for others with fibromyalgia, but it didn't work for me.

Its true what they're saying. However those shots can bail you out too. #1 Ieak expert on earth says steroid injections can't mitigate leaks. My experience says he's wrong about that .

    I am 29 and had L5-S1 Discectomy and laminectomy 4 months ago because the herniated disc was very painful. After completing surgery I have had nothing but complications including a post operative bleed and fluid collection. My neuro surgeon keeps saying i am opioid shopping and nothing is wrong even when the radiologist pointed out that i am developing arachnoiditis.. My neuro surgeon and i have been going back and forth for a few months now and she just does not believe me. I took my images to the university hospital here where the neurologist confirmed that I indeed have arachnoiditis of the arachnoid and the left and right nerve roots. I am so sick of doctors being so conceded and not willing to admit some of the things they do don't work. This is giving me migraines, visual snow, lethargy, nausea, TERRIBLE pain, insomnia ect. I am sorry to hear what you are dealing with.. This healthcare system is a joke

      I was able to finally get in to see a nerve specialist who at least acknowledged my pain. This upsets me so much that they cause this and then deny our pain.

    You're so right about trying to block out the pain. I've had to teach myself over the last several years with my fibromyalgia to try to sleep even though I'm in pain. Even if the pain wakes me up I try to block it out and fall back to sleep. It's been a training and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

    So sorry. I had a Myelgram last Friday. I have multiple lumbar issues as usual. However there was something new on the report. Chronic Adhesive arachnoidiitis. I’m like what the hell is that. Apparently the leg weakness and bladder issues are being caused by AA. Monday my urologist was ruling out my bladder as the problem. He gets the scope is and what do we see? A blob of bladder cancer. So over two days I find out about my AA and bladder cancer. My brain is swimming. I’m not sure what to worry about first. I have surgery the 28th to remove the tumor. I still haven’t heard from my neurosurgeon about my spine issues. I’m so confused. Take care

    I take alprazalom. Is that similar to amytripiln. Does gabepentin help you. It doesn't me. 90 milligrams of cymbalto doesn't work for me. It makes me nauseated and stomach pain. I'm cutting back. What's your opinion. Thanks hun

    • @bonitabradley8213
      @bonitabradley8213 5 місяців тому

      Gabepentin made me confused and didn't help with the pain. Cymbalta didn't help either. Alprazalom is for anxiety but maybe it has a side effect to help with pain. That is what amitriptyline does is help with pain but is originally for depression.

      @bonitabradley8213 I can't even imagine what you go through and the anger you must have not only towards the Dr but also for the grief of losing your old life. I have severe scoliosis and was fused at 15 years old. I'm now 27. Thankfully I'm protected from epidurals because my scar line from spinal fusion is too long so nobody will attempt it. However my surgery failed and I'm now in chronic pain 24/7 and cannot move my back. I'm sitting at a 7 - 8 of 10 on a pain scale daily. Flares are a 10. My surgeon lied to myself and my mum and said I'd be worse if I didn't get it.

    I noticed that when I don’t take omega 3. I hurt. I also take collagen powder daily and use bone broth as well. I’ve heard great things about serrapeptase. Also listening to videos from dr Mandel the motivationaldoc and Dr. Berg has been helpful. Oh yes and I’ve heard fasting works really great as well

    • @bonitabradley8213
      @bonitabradley8213 6 місяців тому

      I have not collagen but heard of it helping. I am not familiar with the serrapaptase and we only make bone broth at home for all dishes. I have tried fasting and didn't notice a change.
