Nerve Pain?

Question:

I've had severe nerve pain for about 4 years, I am on disability - I was approved the first time. That should tell you how severe it has been. T11 and T12 were severely rotated, and T10, L1 L2 were also rotated. The pain runs across the #11 Nerve - Intercostal nerve. They tried meds like Neurontin and Lyrica,they helped with the pain a lot but I couldn't tolerate either, both caused me severe side effects and I had to quit both. All they can do is give me narcotics and send me to the pain clinic - both methods are ineffective for me.I've improved a lot in the past year, mostly through physical therapy - but I still don't have enough control of pain - and I'm trying to get where I can work again. My wife died a year ago (she was 42, I am 45 now) -and I don't want to be home all the time,I want to be productive, and I try very hard.The pain along the 11 nerve is still fairly bad,and if I go off the narcotics it's unmanageable. I've gone to lots of doctors for 4 years,not much help

Answers:
I would suggest you try a chiropractor. I'm enclosing a link where you can find a doctor of chiropractic that uses a very gentle technique. You've gone through this much, why not try a different type of doctor?

Acupuncture is the only treatment remaining, pl try to have it.

Hello.

i realized your problem well.i'm a physical therapist.I advise you to make MRI.This is an advanced type of the ray.it will show well the defect you have.Secondary, you should go to aphysical therapy center to make adistension on vertebrae to separate them so as to reduce the compression on the nerve root.finally i advise you to take some analgesic drugs to provide some of pain relief.

i hope you get well soon.
