I have bad back pain.... IT HURTS TO BREATH?

Question

I had a wreck and fliped 6 times when I was 16. I was not driving. In that wreck I hurt my shoulder because I couldn't raise it above my chest for a week. I was still hurting a couple of weeks later and went to my FAMILY dr. He said that I was sore from the wreck and I will be fine. I wanted a second opinion. So I went to another doctor. I told me I sprained my rotaters cuff and refered me to the chriopractor. I went for 2 yrs straight and then quit cold turkey. I had a bone scan and they said that I had a fractured rib in my back that has healed already. Since then my back still hurts soo severe sometimes at night. I can't sleep I was up one time from 9 pm to 6 am. The pain starts in the place where i broke my rib right under my right shoulder blade and then mirrors itself undermy left shoulder blade then travels down my lowerback around to my stomach and the up to my chest. It hurts to breath. I am bent over during that time there is no way i can stand up straight, the only

thing that i can do is get in the shower and let as hot as i can stand it water run on that one place. Or some times it works to numb it with ice but that really isn't good. I have gone to a few doctors (no specialest I can't afford them) and they say that it is back spasms. I have been given every thing from tylonal 3 to Valum and nothing works the only thing that gives me a little relief is loratabs. IS THERE ANY THING I CAN DO TO MAKE IT STOP. When i get it it affects my school and work. PLEASE HELP ME.

Answer 1

I am not a doctor but do suffer from chronic pain and have tried numerous things to stop the pain. All chiropractors are not the same (the chiropractor is the only help I have received) and you must do what they tell you to do to receive help.

I know from personal experience that toxic chemical exposure and in my body make my pain worse: there are so many toxins in our food, cleaners, homes, etc. that it is ridiculous the more I study it. I have reduced the amount of toxins I ingest and it has made all the difference in the world -- pain isn't completely gone, but I can manage without feeling like I am going to go nutz from the pain everyday, every second of the day.

Also, I attended a 50+ hour Physical Therapy class that taught basic life changes that make injury (re-injury) less likely. If you want to e-mail me I can go into more detail.

People without chronic pain have no idea how affects you and doctors want to give you pills to mask the pain instead of cure the pain. I am so sorry you are going through this and I sympathize with you. It makes waking up cheery and looking forward to the day difficult when you know you are facing pain.

The body is the only thing that can cure itself and we just have to find ways that help it. Detoxifying my body helped tremendously and keeping the toxins out has helped even more.

Best wishes to you and I am so sorry. It sounds very bad, whatever is wrong with you -- radiating pain is never good. Go to a Natropathic doctor and they can help more than you can imagine too.

I would never suggest these non-standard medical practices if I had not tried all traditional medicine for years trying to find a cure and was forced to try alternative medicine.

Acupuncture is also good but not a cure -- simply a way to decrease the pain. Everything I am suggesting is expensive, but when you are in as much pain as it sounds like you are you're willing to try anything to make it go away. I know I was!!!

There are some very cheap natural remedies that you can try that I'll be happy to tell you and how you can get medication for free or at discounted rates (I just read that you don't have much money for specialists).

Answer 2

I am so so sorry! You are going through alot and dealing with enormos amount of pain. If I were you I would search for a doctor that can address your pain and needs, and if it "hurts" to brethe, don't hesitate to go to the emergency room. Perhaps at the emergency room they may find the root of the problem and direct you to an appropriate physician.

Maybe you should go back to the chiropractor? I heard that once you start that, you shouldn't stop.

The thing with back pain is ther is no "cure" sad to say. You hang in there and I will pray for you.

Answer 3

Since you cannot afford a specialist, there is not much anyone can do longterm to help you. Start saving (even if it is a few dollars a week). Check and see if any specialists in your area do charity work.

For the pain, check out www.hufa.org - the symptoms link - under pain. The suggestions there may help increase your tolerance for pain without medication.

Answer 4

I would like to know why no one thought to get you to the hospital when that accident happened! That's pretty much standard procedure, especially with an accident like you describe! Your family doctor should have said something at least instead of trying to brush it off!

At this late stage, you about have to talk to a specialist of some sort. It seems to me that you should get medical aid of some sort. If the loretabs work, then keep using them in the meanwhile.

Good luck!

Answer 5

you should go to a doctor ASAP you may have a kidney stone as that sounds like the right kind of pain for one. you don't need to be an alcoholic to get one. kidney stones are usually caused by either a calcium build up or uric acid or a harder type of stone which is produced by drinking too many brown drinks ie coke, tea, coffee etc they don't go away by themself so see a doctor. good luck.

Answer 6

I'm really sorry that you are going through so much pain!!! Why don't you try a chiropractor, i go to one for shoulder, neck pain, and also really bad headaches.

Most cases (85–90%), bad breath originates in the mouth, sinus and throat. The intensity of bad breath differs during the day, due to eating certain foods (such as garlic, onions, meat, fish, and cheese), obesity, smoking, and alcohol consumption. Since the mouth is exposed to less oxygen and is inactive during the night, the odor is usually worse upon awakening ("morning breath"). Bad breath may be transient, often disappearing following eating, brushing one's teeth, flossing, or rinsing with mouthwash.
Causes:
1, Tongue, A common location is the tongue. Tongue bacteria produce malodorous compounds and fatty acids, and account for 60 to 70% of all cases of mouth-related bad breath. Methods used against bad breath, such as mints, mouth sprays, mouthwash or gum, only temporarily mask the odors created by the bacteria on the tongue, but cannot cure bad breath because they do not remove the source of the bad breath.
Cleaning the tongue - Many companies promote tongue scrapers as a bad breath cure however the bacteria on the tongue can’t be removed with a scraper or brush as they live between the taste buds. Use a tongue scrapper to reduce the food source for bacteria but don’t expect it to cure bad breath. The method of stopping bad breath from the tongue involves rebalancing the bacteria load. Once tongue bacteria are in balance bad breath will cease. For this complex procedure you’ll need to consult Oraltech Labs program at http://www.oraltech.com.au
2. Mouth, There are over 600 types of bacteria found in the average mouth. Other parts of the mouth may also contribute to the overall odor, but are not as common as the back of the tongue. These locations are, in order of descending prevalence: inter-dental and sub-gingival niches, faulty dental work, food-impaction areas in between the teeth, abscesses, and unclean dentures. To fix you will need a dentist to examine your teeth and repair any faults found. Or use Oraltech Labs Unusual Causes Of Bad Breath.
3. Gum disease, advanced periodontal disease is a common cause. Waste products from the anaerobic bacteria growing below the gum line (sub gingival) have a foul smell and have been clinically demonstrated to produce a very intense bad breath. To fix remove the tartar or hard plaque and friable tissue with a soft bristle tooth brush angled on the gum line. This has been shown to improve mouth odor considerably.
4. Nose, in this occurrence, the air exiting the nostrils has a pungent odor that differs from the oral odor. Nasal odor may be due to sinus infections, foreign bodies & commonly Post Nasal Drip. To fix this you will need to flush your sinuses with salt water. It’s very difficult. Use Oraltech Labs program to properly clear all sinus cavities.
5. Tonsils small bits of calcified matter in tonsillar crypts called tonsilloliths that smell extremely foul when released and can cause bad breath. To fix use warm to hot salt water mix to break the stones down or use a water pic to dislodge them. This topic is covered in depth in the Oraltech Labs Program.
6. Stomach, very uncommon source of bad breath. The esophagus is a closed and collapsed tube, and continuous flow (as opposed to a simple burp) of gas or putrid substances from the stomach indicates a health problem—such as reflux serious enough to be bringing up stomach contents or a fistula between the stomach and the esophagus. To fix use Oraltech Labs program to cure bad breath caused by GERD & Acid Reflux.
Management:
1. Gently clean the tongue surface twice daily; that can be achieved using a tooth brush, tongue cleaner or tongue brush/scraper to wipe off the bacterial biofilm, debris, and mucus. Scraping or otherwise damaging the tongue should be avoided, and scraping of the V-shaped row of taste buds found at the extreme back of the tongue should also be avoided. Brushing a small amount of antibacterial mouth rinse or tongue gel onto the tongue surface will further inhibit bacterial action.
2. Eating a healthy breakfast with rough foods helps clean the very back of the tongue.
3. Chewing gum: Since dry-mouth can increase bacterial build-up and cause or worsen bad breath, chewing sugarless gum can help with the production of saliva, and thereby help to reduce bad breath. Chewing may help particularly when the mouth is dry, or when one cannot perform oral hygiene procedures after meals.
4. Gargling right before bedtime with an effective mouthwash.
5. Maintaining proper oral hygiene, including daily tongue cleaning, brushing, flossing, and periodic visits to dentists and hygienists. Flossing is particularly important in removing rotting food debris and bacterial plaque from between the teeth, especially at the gum line.
