: I wake up every night in excruitiating pain. If I am on my back or stomach I'm just paralized. If I wake on my side my arm and hip are paralized with pain.With a lot of effort and sometimes with the help of my husband I force myself out of bed. After I'm up a few minutes I'm okay...well not okay but I do get enough relief to walk and move around. If my leg or arm is bent when I awake, I have to force it down, screaming in pain. I am a little more than worried, but with no insurance of any kind and a high spend down on my medical card no one is interested in talking to me. I have had three surgeries on my neck for disk fusions and am on Methadone but it isn't helping anymore. Please help!

This information conprises only PART of a pain histroy , this needs to be
supplemented by an detailed neurological examination.
If your medical resources are scarce you probably need to go as directly as
possible to the specific specialists who will help you, I would suggest
a neurologist for a diagnostic work-up followed by a chronic pain management
specialist for ongoing treatment.
It is seldom possible to give a diagnosis through this forum, we are
best at supplying factual information to specific questions however
with some more details we may be able to point you in the direction
where you can get help.
