Hi! Have just written a post on the diagnosis of Arachnoidits (big shock!!!) after over 5 years of 24/7 pain and burning sensations in lower back, between my legs and along the legs from the inside. Have no idea where the post is and would be grateful for any comments, ideas & recommendations. T...

Hi! Have been in SHOCK!!! for some time but feel OK now. Less than a month ago was diagnosed with ARACHNOIDITIS!!! by the head of the Spine Surgery Department of a leading hospital (careful with giving names). Had already decided to undergo a microdiscectomy but felt uncomfortable with the decision ...

...sorry - made a mistake while typing... Cymbalta 30 mg (1 at night) made me really sick so stopped taking (with GP's approval). I don't like taking medicines but am willing to try ALMOST anything. A PT at the Apostherapy clinic mentioned Medicinal Cannabis, which I'm perfectly willing to try but h...

Hi everyone! (Especially the Pilot)... I have found all this extremely interesting and educative - food for thought. While reading everything I suddenly remembered that 6 years ago I had piercing and sharp pains in my middle back (thoracic vertebrae?) after swimming and some strenous back exercises....

Hi! Thanks to all who have reacted and commented - appreciate and learn from all. Stopped taking Cymbalta (with GP's approval). Willing to try Lyrica but have not received OK - yet. Yes, looking back 4 years I remember perfectly well the unbearable, piercing, deep pain in the lower back when I fell....

Hi Stephanies,

Thanks for the info. Am seeing a doctor tomorrow about a lower dose of Cymbalta (or giving up altogether...).

What is the point of taking Cymbalta? I still take Percocet 10 and am scared of the mixture.

Why did you write your pain returned 12/13?

All the best,

Mia

Hi Violet,
Thanks for replying.
Nobody mentioned a dose lower than Cymbalta 30 mg. Is there a lower dose?
Anyway, am not at all sure about this whole treatment. Nobody seems to be sure of what they are doing...I feel part of an experiment.
Thanks,
Mia

Hi! Have waited for a consultation with an orthopedic&spine surgeon before writing here. Neuropathy due to compression/blow (two lumbar/sacral disk bulges - heard a sharp "crack" and collapsed on the floor - and a dislocated/misshapen coccyx almost 90% angle). Two doctors examined me (...

Hi! Just read part of what you wrote and am surprised that the same questions are the ones I ask. It seems that everything is related to everything (one body, one mind). I was perfectly OK until 4 years ago (disk hernias/bulges/protrusions - whatever). It has been a downward spiral. Have very little...

Hi!
Had anybody heard of or undergone Mesotherapy treatment for pain?
Thought it was aesthetic treatment but it seems to be used for pain.
Grateful for information&comments.
Have a nice and painless weekend,
Mia
