Hello Icous,
Welcome to the Pain Mangement Forum. I am glad that you found us and posted. However I am very sorry to hear that you are in so much pain.
I suggest that you find a Doctor of Osteopathy (D.O.) that practices osteopathic manipulation treatment (OMT), which means slight manipulations of the spine or other bony structures. DO's specialize just as MD's. Some specialize in Cardiology, Internal Medicine, Obstetrics and so forth. In my opinion they are excellent in diagnosing your kind of symptoms. You are right you cannot and should not have to continue with this pain.
Sometimes heat and resting as much as possible can be helpful. Massage may also be beneficial. Be assertive with your needs. Please let us know how you are doing. I will look forward to your updates.
Take Care,
Tuck
It sounds like a change in regimen is necessary. You're right, you can't keep living in pain. I would seek out a different dr. or specialist who can truly address your pain. I hope you're feeling better soon.
