I HAVE NECK, BACK, SHOULDER, ARM, HAND, FINGERS, KNEE, AND SOMETIMES FACE PAIN! ALL TH ... [More] IS BEEN GOING ON FOR 2 YEARS NOW. BUT THE FINGER PAIN JUST STARTED ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO. ALL THE OTHER PAIN IS ONGOING! IVE HAD MANY OF MRI AND X-RAY! I HAD A MYELOGRAM TODAY DO U THINK THIS WOULD HELP FIGURE OUT MY PROBLEMS! I ALSO SEE THE PAIN CLINIC FOR PAIN MANAGEMENT! THE MEDICATIONS I CURRENTLY TAKE ARE MELOXICAM, NEURON TIN, AND OXYCONTIN! THE OXYCONTIN WEARS OFF AT ABOUT 8 HOURS BUT I ONLY TAKE THEM EVERY 12 HOURS! CAN SOMEBODY, ANYBODY HELP!

I am sorry to read you are suffering. What have they tested you for? What have they diagnosed you with? What kind of docs have you seen? If you would not mind, please turn off your caps lock before you write back as I have a hard time reading posts in all caps.

Hi, well they found something at my c4-5 and c8 nerve root! I think they said bone spurs! But im still unsure until I get in and see the results! I do know they have referred me to the spine clinic! So I am waiting to see from there! Im in terrible pain and I cant even seem to get any sleep also! I have seen the orthpedics, and neuology, now all of a sudden im referred to a spine clinic! One thing..... I dont think the knee pain is related to my upper body damages but im unsure about that too! But so for they have only diagnosis me with cervical disc disease with mylopathy... something like that! Please write back!

It sounds like they are on the right track. It is amazing how much can stem from back problems. Neurontin is an excellent medication for nerve pain. Oxycotin will not work on nerve pain. When are you going to the spine clinic?
