I need help!!!

[brenna39]

I am in my third week of pain and spasms. I have been to the doctor several times and and the therapist twice. After each visit, I have cramping, spasms, and stinging and burning going to different areas. I am sleeping on the couch now because I keep my fiance' awake with my tossing and turning.

I am waiting on a call to set up an MRI and I am unable to work. I have tried going to work a few times since this started but I always have to go home or straight to the doctor by lunch time.

I was diagnosed with degeneration when I was 21 and the doctor I see now has me on 4 different meds. They help a little. The therapist seems to think that I may have a few things going on in my back at once but said they are more worried about the back and neck issues first.

Please find and read previous post. I need help figuring it all out.

When u have the MRI, it will tell the dr's more what is going on.  The stinging, burning and spasms are common with degeneration.  I have degenerative disc disease, RLS, with ole arthur, among several other things.  The spams are contractions you are having.  The stinging and burning you are having may be from where the nerve is being pinched also, especailly if u are having numbness.  But as i said the MRI will help alot.  Hope everything goes well. Let me know
