How To Treat Broken Toe, Pinched Nerve, Bursitis, Osteoarthritis And Ruptured Disc?

I have what one dr. called severe fm and a back surgon said I had a bad, bad, bad, bad! case of fibor. I am 65 was in a car wreck at age 20 was not expected to live the first 48 hours, had many injuries. Fibromyalgia specialist said I had it since the car wreck, I am 65 now, I have had RSD/CRPS for years, started with broken toe and injury to foot. I have ruptured disc, pinched nerves, bursitis, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis and many more things that causes chronic pain. I have a pain Dr. who kept me on the same med since 99. durogesic patch 75 and methadone 10, I guess it is helping some because I have had some real bad full body rsd flares the past few months, on fire full body and all the other pain that goes with it and all the other things I have going on. I wake on fire, wet towels and put over my legs, I hurt so bad I can t even cry. I had a spinal stimulator put in my back, caused the RSD to spread full body, for foot and leg. I don t know how to find a Dr. here in Cincinnati, Ohio, the dr. that put the spinal stimulator was a neurologist, didn t even warn me it could cause the RSD to spread, I knew it but thought I could get help with my back and legs, spasms and pain. I can t even use it anymore, never helped my back, hurt my hips and tailbone, have arthritis in it, bursitis in both hips both shoulders. I can t lay on the battery it hurts all the time along with my spine, stays on fire, behind the battery feels like someone is cutting me in a big area all time, and when I lay on it I wake in so much pain. I would like to know how I could find a good neurologist who knows RSD in this area? Thank you, Sara Hall

Hello,

I have studied your case.

You can find doctor of your required speciality on our website in left side corner in FIND YOUR DOCTOR,

Fibromyalgia can not be totally cured, you can only minimise symptoms by taking various medications. As you are resistant to amitryptiline and duloxetin I will advise you that you can start milnacipran or Lyrica (pregabalin) consulting your treating doctor.

Exercises and stretches plays important role in maintaining symptoms of fibromyalgia

Physiotherapy like ultrasound and tens will help, along with knee exercises.

A holistic approach is required, which includes exercises, meditation ,SKY[ sudarshan kriya yoga] and acupuncture along with healthy diet and herbs.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
