Pain & Pain Management - June 2007

Does anyone have suggestions on what type of exercise/workout can be done with herniated lumbar discs? I currently have issues with sitting, standing, riding in a car, lifting, bending, twisting, turning. I am appealing my workman's comp case - the injury happened while I was shipping at work, but they say since I had been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease, they do not have to pay (different topic!). Anyway . . . I was told to exercise & lose weight . . . pray tell, how can I do this when any volume of activity sends burning, shooting pain from my hip through my toes (this pain does not stop after I cease activity)? Any real suggestions are welcome!

What is your pain on a daily basis (on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the worst), How are you dealing with your pain? What are some types of treatmetns that you've tried for your pain? What has and hasn't helped?
I'm 14 years old and am having a bit of a flare up with my pain, and was curious as to what other RSD/CRPS patients do to help with their pain? I have a Spinal Cord Stimuator (SCS) which helps, but I'm waiting to get reprogrammed, and am looking into some other treatments for my pain, and was curious as to what others have tried, and what has been helpful, etc. Thanks!

About five days ago, suddenly I felt a severe pain in my lower chest. It would start of mild and get increasingly worse (would take about 5 seconds), and then it would reduce again. It sometime happens out of the blue, sometimes when eating or drinking. I went to se a pharmasist yesterday, who said see a Doctor now (I did not bother). Someone said it may just be indigestion, but for 5 days, it seems a long time. Any suggestions

This is the fourth time in 5 months that my husband has had a severe lowere back spasm that appears suddenly and lasts about 3-7 days. He is on pain pills, muscle relaxers and has tried different stretching exercises. He has an office job which may or may not cause it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Very strange thing... I woke up yesterday morning with my neck and back (top left side) and even a little of my shoulder, stiff and uncomfortable. I thought maybe I slept wrong. I tried stretching gently and just rotating my head in circles. It seemed alright for most of the day yesterday, but it did start to get worse last night. Then, I woke up at 5:30 this morning with more pain. I have been taking Advil every 4.5 hours, and it seems to be helping quite well. I am concerned thought, because I have never felt this way. Not only do I have pain in my neck and shoulder, but also the top part (above my chest on the left side, under my neck) and ever sometimes when I swallow. I am not sure what this is. I don't believe it is a herniated disk or anything like that - there is no burning, tingling, numbness, or shooting pains. Just stiffness and dull pain, but I am confused with the tenderness when I swallow and the discomfort above my chest. I have NO insurance currently. Please help.
