Could the physio have made my problem worse?

oh and I am only 32 and did not want to be going through this kind of surgery so young

Hi trudy5 I have neck trouble so no how your feeling but mine is a fused nerve between the top of spine about 4 disc down .my op would only be a chance 50.50 so at nearly 73 don't think I.ll bother but in pain all 24/7

The most common pain problem areas are the neck and back. Caused by a number of issues such as whiplash, sciatica, arthritis, frozen shoulder, slipped discs, sports injuries and many others.

For long-term relief from neck pain, visit a chiropractor. Chiropractors treat musculoskeletal conditions using manual therapies to treat ailments of the bones, muscles and joints. Chiropractors take a holistic approach to treatment, thus taking into consideration the complete lifestyle of a patient and may offer advice on exercise, diet and rehabilitation programmes to do in your own time.

Hi I had a fall in August 2013 which resulted in me having so much pain that I kept returning to A&E X-raysshowed no signs of fracture but when I was finally seen by a surgeon during one of my visits he ordered an Urgent MRI, This showed up 3 Prolapsed disc's @ C3-C4/C4-C5/C5-C-6 each of these are touching my spinalcord and @ C5-C6 there is compression of the right nerve.

Following the MRI the day after I collapsed and was admitted to Hospital where I spent 51 days with medication and received 28 injections in my neck and shoulders which relieved the acute pain when I moved my neck. I am now worried that the movement that this has given me could cause more damage to the Prolapsed discs.

I am waiting to be referred to a spinal unit to discuss surgery or how I go on as this is unbearable as it is,

I hope you get a real diagnosis of what they can do for you ASAP.

Hi,just stick to your Isometric exs n add a bit of nerve flossing exs...Its not that always you need passive mobs...Just wait for the spontaneous healing to occur

Well 5 Month's on from my fall and I am still n the same situation I was the day I left Hospital I have been having some acupuncture that doesn't seem to be having the desired affect as it knock's me off my feet for about four days each time, Having said that i am sure it works for some people.

The Hospital really doesn't want to know I'm in the hands of the Physio department but I'm in to much pain for them to do much with me.

I'm thinking the surgery is much better than what you live with. Do you call it living?  My sister had neck surgery after and a child with autism jumped on her while sitting on the floor . She lived with the pain fôr a year and couldn't work she finally gave in and she now lives pain free.  I know that's not always the case but if they can clearly see the bulging disk that's so much better than them saying well we think you have bulging disk surgery could help. So if they guessed right then you get better . If they got it wrong and you are the same or worse they start saying it's in your head instead of admitting they are wrong and try to continue to figure it out. Most will say it's in your head cause they don't like to admit you didn't need the surgery and you wasted all that money . Good luck 

 

Good Morning Trudy5.

My name is Derek, and I have read and noted your comments in relation to your awful experience.

My elderly Mother has had a lower back condition exacerbated by a Physiotherapist who manipulated my Mother's back, and now Mum has walked properly for nearly 2 years.

Do you know of any Solicitors who could support my Mother in a claim for compensation,, the family is now DEVASTATED as to what happened to my elderly Mum, and the Parliamentary Health Ombudsman did not uphold my complaint.

Best Wishes

Derek
