Hypnothearpy and back pain Posted: 02-01-08 15:50pm
Hi everyone,
I have had chronic back/leg pain for 16
months. I have tried everything, Meds,
Physio and Pain clinic. They think that
something like a disc went over a nerve
but they won't give me a scan yet! I have
read about hypnotherpy and pain over the
net. It claims to make pain seem better.
Has anyone tried it? Does it work? as it
is expensive but I am getting really
desperate now
Thanks

Hello shania,
Welcome to this forum and the wonderful
people who post here and try to help each
other.
I can not give you any advice regarding
hypnotherpy unfortunately.
You state "they won't give me a scan yet".
Do I understand correctly that your
doctors have not okayed for you to have
X-rays and an MRI scan? If that is the
case, then I will highly recommended that
you see a highly respected
neurologist/spinal surgeon and have them
authorize for you to have an MRI. Without
an MRI and X-rays the doctors are just
going to be guessing.
Do search out the very best
neurologist/spinal surgeon that you can
find in your area.
Please do correct me if I do not
understand your post correctly.
Take care.
RichT

Hi Rich,
Many thanks for the reply. I live in the
UK so we get our heathcare under the NHS
system. As it is tax payers money it is
very political. My X ray came back normal
so I was fobbed off for a bit even though
my physio wanted me to get an MRI If the
pain clinic can't help me then I may get
refered to a specialist to get on the
waiting list for an MRI. I may get one
done privately as after all this time I
still do not know for sure what is wrong
and it is affecting my attendance at
work.
