no worrys 68gmc i have a simalar prob on my t7 spine and you just have to put ice on it and take ibprophen and relax on your bed! IM SORRY ABOUT YOUR PROB AND I WANTED TO HELP YOU OUT!!!:) GET FEELING WELL SOON!!:D
I have a similair prob i'm going to see a doc prof l funk he is Spode to be the best orthapeadic guy
I just found out about this new procedure that may help other people if you can find a Doc that is doing this right now. Here is the Website http://www.discdyn.com/index.html
They have a video on how they do this looks like it is a good thing. Im going to try and find out who is doing this right now and see if I can get it done. 8-)
I have seen 3 neurosurgens, 2 bone and joint Docs and the guy that invented the epidural pain shot. I have done 5 epidural pain shots only one worked for a little bit, acupuncture, physical theropy, and im still going to the cyropracter for traction that makes me hurt even more after its done. I have been doing this for 1 and a half months now.
The dye test is when they put dye in your spine and tilt the table to have it run up your spine and they take MRI pics of it to see the damage. A funny story on one of the tests. My spine fluid leeked out and I had hardly any fluid on my brain. I tell you what thats the worst headache you will ever have in your life. I blacked out in the ER when we got there.
What kind of doctor have you seen already? If anything you should be evaluated by neurologist/neurosurgeon.
What dye test have you had?
Im tired of all these local Docs who dont know what to (EDIT) do (EDIT) because there has never been anyone they have seen with a T7-T8 Injury. I need a place who isn't scared to help and just tell me its all in my head.
Its 3AM here so missed that one.
