'Cold', or stinging sensation?

[Guest guest]

Vicki, you are the first person I've heard describe a stinging sensation.

Maybe that is the same as what I feel as a 'cold' sensation? It's a new

thing, and only happens when I walk. I'd really like to know if anyone else

feels this. Thanks.

I wish I could go to pain management or a physiatrist...or anybody, for

that matter. I was doing so well when I was going to pain management

before. Medicaid won't pay for pain management in LA, though, as it did in

GA. I wish I had known that before I moved here. My regular doc here

won't prescribe me anything for pain! I do take Lyrica, which helps with

neuropathic pain, but does nothing whatsoever for my back pain.

Also, I know you hear a lot of horror stories about surgery, but when my

husband had surgery for a herniated disc and also a fusion, he had almost

five good years with very little pain. (Then he had an accident and

re-injured himself) So there's one success story to keep in mind.

Hi everyone went to my 1st PT today its only taken them 3 months to

get me scheduled. I've had every test known to man and " THERE's

NOTHING WRONG THAT WE SEE " 3 dr's have said this. I was w/ the PT

for 5mins (5) he pushes on this spot on my left rear (cheek) and i

screamed a little. he has me roll over on my back and says the first

thing we must fix is my hip is out of alignment. He manipulated it

and the scream that came out of me brought people running. He told

the 2 dr.s that were sending me back to work tomorrow that I would not

be returning to work for at least 6 weeks. My shoulder is out and my

neck is out. My sciatic nerve is being squished by all the muscles

tightened up around it. This is causing the stinging when i walk. 3

drs who didn't have the time to check anything it took a PT to see it

and fix it. Absolutely unbelievable. I feel like I've been hit by a

truck right now I have muscles aching that i didn't know I had. but

he said I will and it will take time to get them all to relax and work

together. Thanks for listening. Vicki
