My pain has now changed yet again. I have
always had pins and needles in my lower
body since something trapped a nerve when
I got the injury. This is now seventeen
months later and in this latest attack of
back pain I have a tender stomach and ribs
with the pins and needles around my chest
area. Can somebody help me please as I am
not getting much support from my
doctor/pain clinic.
Sorry to trouble you all yet again but
this is the only place that I feel I get
real support.

Hello Shania,
I wish I could help you, however, I have
not experienced the pain that you have
described. I hope someone else will be
able to help.
Shania, have you gotten second and third
opinions from other doctors outside of the
pain clinic you are going to? Hope so.
If not I would suggest that you seek out
the best neurologist that you can find in
your area.
Something isn't right and you know it.
Now to find a doctor who listens to you
and understands and KNOWS what to do so
he/she can help you.
Take care.

Just to update you, my back pain is
classed as Mechanical lower back pain. I
know that that can't do much for that as
all the research I have done more or less
has said so. I am going to the pain
clinic next week but they said on the
phone that the tenderness of the ribs and
stomach was most likely the muscles
tensing up.
