Chiro has Helped Immensely....I am Not One For ANY Meds Or Pills. ..jmg..
Have you tried chiropractic? If your husband has what are known as "subluxations" they are seldom, if ever diagnosed by and md. any joint can become misaligned, especially after a trauma. this can then cause them to interfere w/ nerve pathways causing pain, numbness weakness and a slew of other problems that are usually not even noticed by an untrained eye.
a few examples of how chiropractic have helped me:
my wrists: i thought i may have carpal tunnel d/t th constant pain and weakness (sometimes i couldn't even p/u a coffee cup w/o dropping it). regular x-ray showed no disease. after multiple visits my chiropractor i now rarely have any wrist pain.
my hip: i recently injured myself at work and was having severe pain in my hip and right side of my lower back and thigh muscles. of course diagnosis was sciatica (even though i told her no pain in my buttocks, just back and side of my leg and my hip and sacrum). ER doc didn't even do an X-ray! when chiropractor did, he discovered my hip was rotated and my right leg 1" longer! this pain is resolving w/ chiropractic and steroid therapy.
now let me warn you, chiropractic is not a "one and done" type of therapy. b/c the muscles tighten while the joint/vertebrae is misaligned, it takes several visits to get things to stay where we want them to (the spastic muscle can then pull things back out of alignment). this, then often causes chiropractic medicine to be seen as "quack" medicine b/c it takes so long to heal. as w/ any healing, sometimes it is 2 steps forward, 3 steps back, but then it turns into 3 steps forward, 2 back, then 3 forward one back, and so on.
my neck: i was having neck adjustments for some mild neck pain and chronic headache. at one point, the 3 day h/a only let up for a few hours just after a chiropractic adjustment. then i, too, was in a car accident 7.5 yrs ago and have had chronic prob's since. that therapy is still undergoing treatment, but, like your husband, all of my CT/MRI scans have been "normal". i would strongly suggest trying chiropractic, what can it hurt? hint: like kermit the hermit mentioned, don't be afraid to travel. took me a few chiro's to find the one who was right for me (forceful enough to help, w/o making it hurt worse).
good luck and never give up!
the accident depending on what how speed all thats stuff
it could have just done damage to the brain or another system that may unfortunately be a have to live with problem
i hate to join the docs but i have had this happen to me
my last accident waiting stopped for a car to turn a kid rear ended us over 40mp no brakes i broke the brake pedal try to keep from moving
they can explain or understand the damage to my lower back and can account for degrading fibromyagia
then this year a couple years later my right leg i drive with had a major muscle go out
best they can say is possible late accident damage otherwise beats them
im on this end with 20 or so health issues to often to count or as im turning 40 we've tried everything and all meds
it hurts its hard and when its our loved one we want to stop it ease it anything we can
thats what im sure you have been just keep being there possibly do as many activity's or trips as safe at this point
just ten years ago i climbed to the top of a outlook point lots of steps
active now ten years later it takes all i have to move and not end up in a chair
thats what i mean by above not a scare but times short we dont know whats down the road
so if no answers live the best most enjoyable life everyday
best wishes if you need to talk pm me or others are here to help to
We have tried multiple doctors and every test under the sun, besides a tilt table test (because of his size). Nothing has reared its ugly head. I am wondering if it has something to do with his chromosomes or blood pressure.
have you stayed just in your town?
i have learned being disabled we have to fight to travel
to not stand for those answers until they find a solution
stick with neurologists
demand all the scans cat mri and the others force and insist on a contrast die used it can show blood vessel and other problems
its not fun and less for him but travel till someone give you answers
i had to go from IL to Wisconsin to find a good doctor
please keep in touch best wishes
