Need advice about fistula please
Hello! I had my first surgery for a fistula yesterday. Surgeon connected my brachial artery to my basilic vein at the elbow. I had a nerve block in my arm that they told me would last for 18 to 24 hours and it was already starting to wear off while I was in recovery. A few hours later and it was

Finally found some relief for IC
Hi everyone, I’m 48 & was diagnosed with IC & Hunners ulcers after having a bladder lift in 2005 & having the mesh fall apart & get stuck in my pelvic floor wall. The mesh was of course toxic and did a number on my bladder as well. I tried EVERYTHING you could imagine & kept track of when pain would

Bridgefeast--nice post! More on exercise
The importance of exercise, including resistance exercise is irrefutable. Bridgefeast is a UK man which made me take notice. "Strand Pulling" contests were once a sport in the UK. Strand pulling uses a chest expander. I have the booklet written by Syd Devis who was a UK strand pulling champion. I got

electric tug down leg
Hi, I have just had another back surgery, fusing L5 to S1 and pelvis for nerve pain that is going down the back of my leg , front of knee and top of foot. It feels like someone has an electric cattle prod and running it up and down the back of my leg, it is horrendous. The op did nothing to relieve it

New to group
Good morning, I just found this group online while looking for a support group for my husband’s demyelinating syndrome. I have been through the wringer with chronic back pain due to degenerative disc disease since 1989. I try not to let my pain define me, though. My new pain specialist recommended

cortisone shot
I had to have 5 cortisone injections into my ankle and metasal due to arthritis. I’ve noticed that since I had them my heart rate really drops. I’m 70 yrs old but noticed my resting heart rate drops to 44 - 56. It does rise during day. I had this before in February when I had a nerve block done. is

Constant Pain
Hi there. My name is Paul and I'm new to the forum. I've been struggling with pain for many years now which was mainly lower back related and according to MRI scans was down to wear and tear/disc degeneration. Since my first MRI in 2006 I've had several more scans and the pain has gradually become

Treatment has hit a wall. I can not sit without pain.
I have not been able to sit without horrid pain since August. I did too much — and I have not recovered. On top of that, the nerve blocks I have been getting to try to help this pain for years, like pudendal nerve block, trigger point injections into my pelvic floor, si joint injections, and caudal injections

Nerve damage
Since my carpal tunnel, cubitunnel and median nerve surgery 2 years ago, I have experienced horrible, constant seeking nerve pain in my left arm. My hand is deformed and I have no use of my arm and hand. After 2 hand surgeons, 2 PT's and a neurologist, all of whom said there was nothing they could do

Pain management pudendal neuralgia
I had a fall from height 11 months ago. Struggling to get anywhere with medical professionals, there is no urgency & I have been made to feel neurotic at times. I’m finding the ones I have seen don’t really know about PN. My osteopath suspected PN in October & GP referred me to MSK spinal specialist

Thanks for the replies to my previous post
Thanks for your replies to my first post everyone. Comforting to know I'm not alone in feeling overwhelmed by this, but I'm blown away by how many people are enduring this and find ectopics really debilitating. It's so sad that our feeling are dismissed as unimportant by people who have no idea what

I have been experiencing pancreatic pain for 6 mos now. Have been to the ED 5 times in that time period. I thought I knew what pain was with my lower back issues - but I was unfortunately mistaken. During these acute pancreatic episodes - the best way to describe the pain is to say that I was out of

Hi, I want som advice from the community. What do you do for pain? My neph said Tylenol only, which does nothing, and NO NSAIDS. I have sciatica, occipital neuralgia, and upper back pain, and some arthritis. I went to a Stretch Lab, thinking that might help. I use heat, and use my TENS. Everything

Vagal a fib
I listened to a cardiologist on utube. He mentioned vagal a fib. Does any one what this is? It seems to be a younger cohort but I presume it comes with the usual meds. How can you find out if you have it? I seem to be able to stop a fib attacks with vagal manoeuvres and sometimes my a fib is brought
