Chronic pain driving me crazy

I convinced myself that it's only pain, to cope with it and live happily.
I was happy... for the first 4 months. But now I'm starting to freak out.
Can't even study properly. Just going to lectures and listening amidst the pain. Lectures are almost soothing since they distract me from the pain. But when I try to write notes, and stay seated for too long, it gets really painful.
I can't hold a book to read it and study for exams. Everything seems pointless.

Let me tell you how everything started...

With all my heart and sincereness, I'm aware of the fact that there are people here and in the world whose priority for attention/care is greater than mine, I'm aware that there are more serious conditions and more important things than this, and with all respect I'm aware that some healthcare professionals are doing an amazing job... yet I'm simply frustrated and at the same time puzzled about what is actually happening to me.

Secondly, I'd like to ask whether anyone here has gone through similar situations and/or found a solution and/or has any ideas as to what else I could do next.

To be short and sweet, while I was doing some routine physical exercises four months ago (June 2007), I did a stretching/yoga posture known as "the plough" (a pose I had actually done numerous times before; thanks to my own stupidity though I always self-learned that stuff), and something happened to the area below my neck.
Initially I thought it was just a whiplash, but the pain was unbearable.

A few days later I went to my general practitioner who assured me that it was "absolutely nothing", and thus I continued living my normal life, walking and going to lectures, doing a few exams (badly, due to the pain... imagine walking around and writing with the feeling of a knife stabbing the base of your neck), but avoiding all physical exercise for a while.

As time passed, the pain snowballed, reaching shoulders, arms and fingers, also making my neck muscles completely rigid.
Everyone thought maybe it was just the compound effect of exam stress and similar factors, but it became only worse, stabbing throughout my neck.
It became so unbearable in July that I was admitted to the emergency department, where several tests were done (but "you still have an amazing flexibility and bending range") and I was prescribed several NSAIDs and to keep a cervical collar for a week.
The pain [obviously] went away for a while (and I swear that during those days I didn't do anything apart from staying in bed and reading books), but as the effects of the drugs wore out, the symptoms relapsed.
Emergency dept once again; and this time they told me to take 2-3 injections a day for two weeks... (omg, all the funny side-effects).
Like the previous time, the symptoms were treated, but relapsed again, despite all my efforts (I literally was like a mummy at home during most of my summer vacation).

Apparently, I had all the symptoms for spinal disc herniation which was what most experts later suggested to be the cause of my pain, but an NMRI scan of my spine (performed towards end of July) revealed only that... my neck was rigid :rolleyes:
So everything they did was keeping dismissing me and reassuring me that "nothing was wrong", that everything might actually have a psychogenic cause, etc.
Reassuring words (and also a reassuring MRI), and I'm a pretty positive person... but my body kept sending new warning signals every day.

In mid-August I quit taking medications since I was also told that they are bad and won't really help the cause of the pain. I also traveled to London where I met an osteopath who - keeping in mind the results of the MRI - conjectured that all I had was nerves pinched by the rigid muscles.
Indeed, in the meantime my muscles around the whole neck-jaw area had become somewhat strange, not really responding to my orders.
He performed several massages and stuff and I felt less tension, more relieved and with time also less pain in the arms and fingers.
Also according to the osteopaths, I had an "incredible range" (bending neck sidewards, backwards and forwards).
He told me that I should really forget everything and even start dancing again
(I obviously didn't dance).

As time passed, and I came back home, the pains kept relapsing with different intensities, with no real episode of total lack of pain (except the few seconds after I wake up in the morning... but now also that isn't anymore).
That "knife in the nape/neck" feeling is constantly there throughout the day.
The "pins and needles [and nuclear missiles]" now come in hundreds of different variations, accompanied by that implosion feeling between nose and palate... the feeling you get when somebody just punched your nose, light dots flying around in my vision field, sensation of raindrops or acid falling all over my body. I also feel as if some of my mechanic functions are limited (strange "clicking" feeling when I expand my mouth to yawn, swallow water, etc.), in addition of course to the stabbing and dull pain that occasionally comes along the nerves in the eyes, teeth, chest, ears and other places.

I try to enjoy life, go to parties, work and do what I always did and learn new things.
And every night I fall asleep telling myself "This is just pain, nothing else. Just get used to it." But the next day I wake up with a new pain or a stronger form/intensity of a previous pain in the area...

I'm wondering whether whatever I did to myself didn't show up on the MRI because it hadn't "matured" enough in order to be visible enough.
And even the doctors... maybe they're waiting for whatever happened to completely deteriorate so that they can increase their health care revenues. No I'm serious, I also get these kinds of thoughts amidst all pain...

I'm also wondering whether I should interrupt studies for a while because I can't really study (such as sit and do writing stuff) and read.
I only attend lectures.

If you have any ideas or suggestions, please let me know.

Thank you.

Hi,

You are obviously really suffering at the moment and although there is not much I can do about that I will say that you should NOT be in that amount of pain and have nothing done about it!!!! I really think that you need to get your conplaining hat on and DONT take no for an answer. Demand a second set of scans and get both your doctor's opinion and a second opinion. Demand to see another osteopath and demand a referal for accupuncture as well (studies show that it works better than lots of painkillers on some tipes of chronic back pain).

I would also print your post off and take it with you to the doctors. Lost of people dont tell doctors just how bad their symptoms are because they dont want to be seen as a drama queen but when you write them down it is easier to see the range and extremity of your pain. I think the symptoms you describe are really worring, especially the vision, 'nose breaking' and acid drops feelings. The problem is obviously affecting your whole body. The medical profession is supposed to be a caring one and help you with your issues. You should refuse to be fobbed off any more!

As for studying, I think it is difficult for anyone to help you make that decision. Although you are obviously not performing to your best potential it also sounds that lectures and your course are the only thing you have to think about apart from the pain. One thing you must do is go to the welfare office and register your mitigating circumstances immediatly. There may be extra help and support available for you as well a some guidence as to what you should do.

I really hope that something can be done and quickly. You need to hang onto the thought that it is NOT ok for them to leave you in this amount of pain and they MUST do something about it. They cant just do one test say 'we cant see anything' then send you away, they have to do ALL the tests they have until they find out whats wrong. You need to be strong and stand up for yourself and i really really hope that you feel better soon.

" For patients who remain symptomatic beyond 6-8 weeks of conservative care a decision about interventional treatment should be discussed between the patient and the physician. Increasing pain is a relative indication for surgery on the cervical spine. Muscle weakness or sensory changes which continue for 8-12 weeks or progressive neurological deficit are strong indications for surgical intervention. Signs of spinal cord compression such as balance or bowel and bladder problems are another strong indication for aggressive intervention. "

Looks like you have the syptoms of a Cervical disk herniation. Its been ages now so it seems like they really should be considering an operation. I hope they can do something for you

I don't think "they" intentionally & uncaringly leave people in pain. Chronic back pain is a huge problem often without any quick fixes.

What tests do you think would be particularly useful after an MRI's been done to look for an organic structural cause?
In conjunction with having visited a GP for clinical assessment, 'several tests' in A&E (so presumably the basic bloods at least), trials of analgesic/mechanical & possibly modulatory (? injections) treatments, MRI scan & osetopathy treatment...

:eek: Which disk should they operate on, when they've already done the gold standard investigation (within 8 weeks (!) by the sound of it ) & presumably didn't see anything structural? I'm not sure giving people general anaesthetics & poking around in their spines has any therapeutic efficacy...


To TheEntertainer - obviously this is disrupting your life, so go back to your GP & see if they can give you more reassurance about the underlying cause or think further investigations are indicated:

TheEntertainer

I'm wondering whether whatever I did to myself didn't show up on the MRI because it hadn't "matured" enough in order to be visible enough.


Hmm, you had the MRI a month after the injury and pain started? :confused:

If there was no structural cause found then I'd wonder whether it's evolved into more of a chronic pain syndrome. In which case it might be worth preparing yourself for the idea that there is nothing that can be done re. the 'underlying cause', so switching focus to symptomatic relief and pain management / contemplating psychogenic aspects might be useful. There are specialist pain management clinics GPs can refer to.

& what Lychee said about university sounds like a plan.

Hope things improve for you. :smile:

light dots flying around in my vision field, sensation of raindrops or acid falling all over my body. I also feel as if some of my mechanic functions are limited (strange "clicking" feeling when I expand my mouth to yawn, swallow water, etc.),


i don't think these syptoms are to do with whatever you did to your neck as i have those flying dots in my vision, try to look at them but they move, i know exactly what these are like. and i get a clicking sometimes when i open my mouth and stuff, i can feel it like in my jaw and ears, usually when i have had a cold or something.
i'm not saying you are lying or anything because i really do feel sorry for you that you haven't been able to find out what is wrong with you. but don't you think that maybe that is because there really isn't anything there? the mind is a clever thing when it comes to these sort of things but then again i do believe there is something wrong with you if you actually felt something go when you did this yoga thing.
i can almost garuntee that the acid feeling on your body and the pins and needles are something your mind is making you feel. you usually only get that feeling when there is a lack of blood in that area, and if that has been occuring since june then some of your limbs would be blue and dieing by now if lack of blood was happening.my mind does this to me aswell. i know its my mind as i get this stupid pain in my leg sometimes when i'm in bed, it feels like the blood has stopped flowing in my feet and that they are dieing, they go numb and get chronic pins and needles. but this only happens when i go to bed worried that it will happen or thinking about it.it doesn't happen so much anymore as i've tried to stop thinking about it and telling myself that nothing is wrong with me.
i think something indeed has happened to your neck, but i think it is what the doctor said, muscles annoying your nerves, you need a weekly or monthly massage. i think the reason why you think the pain is worse is because your mind is being evil to you,try to take your mind off the pins and needles feeling and everything else that doesn't include your neck as these are more than likely psychological. as soon as you can get rid of them (you've gotta sort of fight your mind, it's hard but you have to try hard) i reckon you've pulled a muscle and its just got mega tense so you don't damage it anymore than you have and consequently squeezing nerves etc. go for a massage in ones of these massage and pedicure etc places, and go every week or so to loosen your neck. i think this will work. what you are describing is more than physical. this is mostly psychological and you have to try and fight it. my mind does the same and its turning me into a hypochondriac and its not fun, you gotta fight.
anyway, i'm not saying you're crazy or anything, i have full sympathy with you, but i think you need to sort out your mind before your physical pain will become any better. hope you can understand where i'm coming from :smile: good luck! i'm sure you'll be better in no time!:biggrin: xxx

If it's a neck problem have you visited an osteopath? Maybe they can offer some advice :smile:

Or just keep on pestering your GP, it's the only way.

yeah I do see what you are saying and obviously I am not a doctor BUT, The Entertainer is unhappy with her diagnosis and obviously feels that something has been missed, especially as the pain is getting worse not better. She is entitled to a second opinion and she is entitled to kick up a fuss until something is done. If the result is that she comes away with "you have Chronic back pain and there is nothing we can do apart from pain relief" then fair enough, at least she knows where she stands.

The thing that worries me more is that it is getting worse rather than stabilising, you don't want to get to the situation where the doctors say that the problem has deteriorated too far and there is nothing that they can do. I am not trying to denigrate the great work that doctors do but you have to accept that sometimes things are missed and the idea that if you have an MRI scan and it shows nothing but the pain dosen't go away then you should not go and ask for another in a few months time seems fairly ludicrous to me.
Hey everyone, I really appreciate your replies and advice.
I waited for a while to see how things would develop.

Meanwhile I get all sorts of strange things: Like lack of elasticity when stretching the jaw at some times (but this happens mainly when I stay up late studying), and lot of dots, bubbles in the vision; do you know the effect when you look at a strong light for a long time and then close your eyes or look at something darker? That "trail of light"-effect is now much stronger and vivid.
I'm wondering whether my abrupt interruption of sport activities is producing all the additional side-effects.

Yes Lychee, a second opinion is what I need. Or maybe a third, and a fourth, and a fifth... I don't know.
Personally, I'm not as disturbed by the pain as I'm worried about what the aggravating symptoms might mean - and whether there's a lifestyle or treatment to at least stop whatever mechanical/muscular/skeletal/whatever processes are making everything worse.
Whether there's anything I should do or avoid doing (and trust me I've already asked the doctors as well, and all they said was:"Oh, protect your neck from the cold; lift the collar of your shirt when it's windy.").
Apart from my pain I'm generally happy, have no stress, and indeed when I don't think about it I'm living an [almost] normal life. But see, I don't want to ignore the escalating symptoms too much. Especially when they come as I least expect them... like a warning alarm from the body metabolism.

As I said, the symptoms are indeed typical signs of cervical disk herniation, but the MRI which I took 47 days after the incident didn't reveal anything at all - or so the specialists so far told me.
Can a disk herniation "evolve" in the meantime? Couldn't it be stopped?
Why did all the doctors smile and just reassure me saying there was absolutely nothing to worry about?

And Elles, I'm sorry if I sound a bit "paranoid" and accusatory towards the health care system but all this pain is happening especially in a period during which I also learned a lot about medical malpractice and collusion/opportunistic behavior between pharmaceutical industries and doctors.
I would like to add that in my friends and my "graphic" opinion, even the MRI shows a slight irregularity in one disk ("graphic" opinion in the sense that we can evidently see that one disk on the MRI is different from the rest of the disks. Why could the doctors not see it? Is somebody being dishonest here?).
I've been prescribed numerous medications [that haven't even helped], that merely reduced the pain for short periods, almost like placebos. I stopped taking any pain-killers, muscle relaxants, injections etc. in September to prevent side-effects... since I can generally also live with the pain by just ignoring it. I got used to it now.

It's painfully obvious you should just go to your doctor again.

You know, a problem here in Italy is that you always get the appointment at the general doctor first, after which she gives you the appointment with the specialist doctor. My next appointment with the neurologist is on November 20th.

iTalya, yes I went to the osteopath when I was in London in August. He relieved me a lot of my muscular rigidness and pain but then again he didn't see my MRI scan, I just gave a photocopy of the written results. The full-fledged pains relapsed within a few weeks afterwards.

HaNzY

don't think these syptoms are to do with whatever you did to your neck as i have those flying dots in my vision, try to look at them but they move

Are they shiny dots or black/dark spots with irregular forms? I had the dark irregular forms previously as well. What I mean now are shiny dots that often seem to stay on a spot for a second and then disappear. Like tiny stars that implode.
(Wow, we could become poets!)

Well, I also hope that this is the case. As I mentioned above though, sometimes the symptoms aggravate when and where I least expect them. Like my body and/or mind is telling me "No! You don't start running and dancing! There is something wrong here!"

HaNzY

this is mostly psychological and you have to try and fight it. my mind does the same and its turning me into a hypochondriac and its not fun, you gotta fight.
anyway, i'm not saying you're crazy or anything, i have full sympathy with you, but i think you need to sort out your mind before your physical pain will become any better. hope you can understand where i'm coming from

Thanks for the hope HaNzY. I also hope it's only the muscles, only the nerves being distressd by them. And I also hope they don't have any effect on the spine. But I can't be sure yet.
But well, we'll see what happens next :smile:
Have you been to see an optometrist about your vision? Floaters and halos in an abnormal amount aren't normal and should be looked at. When was your last eye test?

I'm asking, because I myself suffer with chronic pain due to a collagen deficiency which also affects my eyesight and I have floaters in my vision, which for now, is okay, but I am at risk of a retinal detachment (possible blindness) as my eye muscles are too weak.

I really think you need to get referred to a specialist if you haven't already, and definitely get yourself an eye test with a report in their too.

I'm not calling you paranoid, you're obviously in pain - something is wrong: whether it's ongoing structural or an injury that's become a chronic pain syndrome or something else & something more needs to be done.

I'm just a bit more cautious (having seen it from the other side as a medical student in primary care) about the whole 'second opinion!!!' 'more tests!!!' when it comes to spinal pain with the idea that doctors don't care/are trying to fob you off, when by the sounds of it you've been to tertiary care & certainly had all of the obvious ones done.

But as I said:

To TheEntertainer - obviously this is disrupting your life, so go back to your GP & see if they can give you more reassurance about the underlying cause or think further investigations are indicated.


e.g. take the MRI & ask for an explanation if you think there's an irregularity or ask for a second specialist opinion.

edit - ah, you're not in Britain? In which case not sure of the triaging/red flags or referral system.

You have to keep going to an osteopath to start seeing long term results, of course the pain returned a couple of weeks after the first treatment!

Mine says, one treatment a week for a while, then try 2, then 3, then 4 etc until hopefully you don't need to go at all or just once every few months

Looks like you have the syptoms of a Cervical disk herniation. Its been ages now so it seems like they really should be considering an operation. I hope they can do something for you


if you read the OP's post they state they have had gold standard imaging procedures in the approrpaite time and no evidence of disc herniation has
been found.

a return to the GP is warranted to ask for referral to pain clinic and the OP needs to consider that there may be no physicla cause for the chronicpain and to be open to all approaches to it;s management


it is also important to rembmer the following

-self diagnosis is not the best option
- if you beleive you can see a problem in a situatio nthen sure enough a problem will be found
- you have to be open to all causes for symptoms and all means of managing symptoms
Had neurological test yesterday. Everything seemed okay though he is planning to perform an extra test with needles to check whether the single nerves are okay.

However, when he looked at the MRI taken in July he said in a "no-no"-like tone:"The discs aren't really that okay. I think the previous doctors overlooked something." He said that they were pretty "squeezed" for my age. And he said I shouldn't do any sports except for swimming, "for now".

I knew it! LOL. F... the healthcare system. :P

hi there mate i sufer from a very bad chronic tension headache since 2010 feb, read my thread.
I'm studying physio and it sounds to me like a nerve impingement. Have you tried massages or acupuncture?

Do you get stiffness in the morning that eases with exercise at all?
