D2J Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Can anyone offer any advice. I've had a trapped nerve in my shoulder blade for over a week now and it's driving me insane. I've had one for 11 months, well I had a trapped nerve that didn't heal properly which resulted in an EMG and MRI scan and several weeks of Physio... Have you seen the Doctor?

pattricia Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Can anyone offer any advice. I've had a trapped nerve in my shoulder blade for over a week now and it's driving me insane. I've been applying a heat pack during the day whilst at work to try and offer some comfort but I really need it to stop now, I've had enough!! Please help me before I go mad!! Thanks:thumbsup: I would advise a Chiropractor. They will first take an Xray,and wont do anything you dont want them to do.Mine is The Hillsborough Chiropractor Clinic,on Holme Lane at Hillsborough.I always see Sonya the owner.

jen229 Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share 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. I'm hoping that it may just ease itself out, otherwise I shall graft a hotwater bottle to my skin for constant warmth!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massage lady Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Hello I'm sorry to hear of your pain! I'm a massage therapist and I have had alot of success treating conditions with symptoms similar to yours. I believe that treatments are most effective if they are pleasurable They definitely should not hurt! I offer a mobile service so can visit you at your home or another place, I sometimes use the Bohemian (Chesterfield Road) and The Airy Fairy (London Road). You can find more details about me and my treatments on my website: http://www.theandreatouch.com I'm holding an event at the Bohemian on Sunday 10th December where I'll be doing 15 minute treatments for £8. You can find more details at http://www.theandreatouch.com/the_healing_touch.htm I look forward to hearing from you Love Massage Lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIVA Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 READ THIS. 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 Posted February 20, 2007 Share 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........ The address on his business card is Carr Clinic Group 50 Middlewood Drive East Wadsley Park Village Sheffield S6 1RS 07813 496 395 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therapyman Posted February 20, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbear Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 what about asking your GP for a short course of corticosteriods if it's not chronic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
