jen229 Â Â 10 #13 Posted November 12, 2006 Thanks everyone for your advice, I'm a bit worried about going down the Chiropractic route as I had an operation on my spine earlier this year and they sound like they can get a bit rough. Â I'm hoping that it may just ease itself out, otherwise I shall graft a hotwater bottle to my skin for constant warmth!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

DIVA Â Â 10 #15 Posted November 21, 2006 READ THIS. Â I can sympathise with the posters here. I have tried doctors, physios, chiroprachters, neurologists, had MR and MRI scans, etc in short - the whole lot! I suffered for over two years. What worked for me was several sessions with an experienced acupuncturist. I feel so lucky to be rid of this and have been virtually trouble free for the last four years.

Leo1 Â Â 10 #16 Posted February 20, 2007 See a chiropractor. I see Dr Andrew Carr at his Wadsley Park/Middlewood Clinic at Hillsborough. I see him for my spine pain and he sorted it out for me very quickly. He is very good and knows his stuff. It's not rough and the pain relief........ Â The address on his business card is Carr Clinic Group 50 Middlewood Drive East Wadsley Park Village Sheffield S6 1RS Â 07813 496 395 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

therapyman   10 #18 Posted February 20, 2007 Not all chiropractic is "rough". There is a guy at Clinic One who does spinal therapy which is a lot more gentle, and it releases trapped nerves. Give him a call for a chat 236 4141 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Dexto   10 #22 Posted August 7, 2009 I have suffered with intense pain from my shoulder all down my arm for 18 months. I had an MRI scan which revealed a foraminal stenosis between c5/6 of my cervical spine. It's like a disc swelling that presses onto the root nerves which come out from the spinal cord. I'm suffering from root nerve pain down my right arm and the pain can move to various parts of my upper left side. I think it may be called Brachialgia. It drove my to dispair over 12 months. I'm now taking a drug called Gabapentin, it's also used to treat epilepsy. It works by blocking some of your nerve signalling or confusing it to some extent. Although i am not completely pain free, I am able to get on with my life again. The condition will require surgery but I'm keeping that as a last resort.
