And you may find my alternatives ver unique and benificial having lived in painsince 1968 i have a sincere desire to have a day without medication to make it thru.
I thank you and I always bear correction. and welcome a new or alternate option I tooo seek freedome .

Hello from a badly damaged neck i suffered since 1968 . Fibromyalgia is thought to originate from C spine issues I realy dont know of a medication to help if the fibro decides to be bad it will overpower all the registered drugs and Gabbablockers . neuological pain does not respond to opiates or known pain killers but MAY respond to Gabba blockers and a small dose of Codeine Carbamezapine is one to begin with its a matter that finds one that wrks for you or a combination if it is very sever. itgs a fishing expidition but a relatively safe one . LoW addiction and doctors like that .
Gentle exercise and stretching will open the vertebra gap evenly and allow the disk to slither back . it takes time dont get impatient. I would request abrain MRI to check for abnormalities and A possible rigeminal Nerve damage . The pain from that can manifest in many ways . neuralgia is the sheath of the nerve is wORN Neuropathy ia a severing of the nerve as mine I live with the pain as its not known I wont discuss the options but today Neurologistsdo have options
i am not personally convinced of one for my case I have had so called sure fire cures only to suffer for 2 or 3 years in agony .
Any neck injur and disk abnormalithy is frightening my most powerfull advice is relaxtake time away from the computer . hunting for a cure leave that to the doctors . let your fearsgo the neck is a very strong structure and can wobble itself back to normal and often doe s fear is your greatest enemy . trust is what the doctor will recommend is your need . you do not discuss fractures and I say nyour future is good.
Dear Friend,
Many thanks for your post.
What is the prognosis in a case like mine?
You can have a pretty good prognosis, provided you take a proper treatment
Can hearing loss come from this?
Unlikely to be related to this cause.
How much of this could come from chiropractic manipulation?
Can be possible.
As far as the perfect treatment is concern, i would ask you to meet a good orthopaedician or neurosurgeon, who specializes in spine.
It appears that surgical treatment would be good for you, in the present situation.
Please discuss, for further option.
Regards
Thanks for your response. I have an appointment with a Neurosurgeon on July 8th that specializes only in spinal surgery. It seems like a long ways away, since I sleep very little and am in a lot of pain, mostly when I try to relax or rest. When I'm doing physical work I feel pretty good, except for exhaustion. The numbness on the left side of my neck and head is pretty constant, occuring every hour. Nausea is worse during and after resting. Thanks again.
