For the last two years I’ve been suffering from lower back pain with muscle spasms. I’ve gone to the doctors so many times and all they can do is give me muscle relaxers and after awhile of taking them they don’t work no more. I’ve done massages and exercises and the pain gets worse. I have no clue what to do any more. Can some one help, please?

Since my boyfriend and I have been dating he has had a sciatica nerve problem, it’s been about 8months…when will it get better?? he is always in pain and can’t work and I’m just wondering what the best solution to his health problem would be? he has had physical thereapy and pain medications and muscle relaxers but it doesn’t seem to be getting better.

I have a brother who suffered a traumatic brain injury 4 mos ago. He is on a vent, is partially conscience & opens his eyes, however more recently his hands & feet are curling in and his head is starting to tilt downward. He is very stiff, muscle relaxers are not helping. I want to know what the "curling" condition is called.

My neurosurgeon has recommended spinal fusion because I have herniated discs at L3-L4, L4-L5, and L5-S1. I have tried physical therapy and it did not help. It just made the pain worse. I can’t even hardly move and am in constant pain all of the time despite being on pain meds and muscle relaxers around the clock. I am not working right now. I am trying to move around as much as possible. I can’t hardly sit, stand, or lay down for more than a few minutes at a time. What kind of results have you had with spinal fusion surgeries?

My mom just had spinal surgery on her neck, including disk c7. Since she has woke up her neck is extended back, like she cant relax it. It is bowed backwards and her chin is pointed more towards the ceiling. Its very painful. They did an x ray and cat scan and can’t see any problems. The surgeon said this is not common and he is going to try to find out what was wrong this morning, but he didn’t come back yet. I can’t find anything online about post operative hyper extension. She has been like this for four days. Please help!
Not sure about muscle spasm, they have given her muscle relaxers and they didn’t help

So this lady hit me as i was turning. It wasnt a huge accident at all. she rear ended me and took off some paint and left a dent on the bumper. It is still in place. At the time i did not feel that i was injured. I felt good and went on with my day at work afterwards. After a couple of hours i felt a headache that steadily kept increasing in pain. When i got home from work my headache was pretty painful. I took Tylenol and took a shower. woke up today with my back sore and stiff. I thought itd be from work but ive been doing what i do for well over a year and a half now so i doubt it was work. And i’ve never felt pain like this. Its nothing to impede my ability to walk or work, but it is discomforting and makes it hard to sleep. Now i have contacted the other person’s insurance company and my Insurance company. They are in the proccess of investigating. Every that i talk to about this says that i should seek a lawyer in assistance to recieve compensation for the accident. My question is, Do i automatically receive a compensation for this accident. also, Do i need a lawyer to recieve any compensation? This isnt one of those "Oooh OMG Lawsuit!! Yay!!" things, its just that everyone tells me that I am entitled to some sort of settlement. Please, somebody explain. Thank You! OOh btw, I went to the doctor earlier today due to the pain, i was prescribed muscle relaxers and pain medication for spasms.
let me clarify the question.
Do i need a lawyer in order to recieve compensation? Can i still be compensated witout a lawyer?

I have been in a auto accident 2 yrs ago limited threshold
not my fault -rear ened driver recived ticket reckless driving
eversince that day I have tons of expenses lost my job becuase I couldn’t come in becuase I was injured and they let me go. I’m still going thru therapy now
and have lot’s of pain to the point that I had burning off the nurves in my neck 4nerves, injestions, accupuncture,pain meds,muscle relaxers etc. He has not helped me at all I wanted to get another lawyer he told me that he will make money on it too since he sued for me. I have dr bill for 3,000 since I had the accident and keep on sending it to him and nothing is done. He never calls me , never helps me even though my auto doesn’t wanna pay for anything a long time ago
my health ins pays some what and I spent me and my husbands life savings. I have tear in ligament in right side neck, hip pain,scolliosis,left lumbar deviation, that’s what I’m having therapy for now. Also seeing psycholg for a year. Now wha

The muscles in my lower back are having spasms and agitating my ciatic nerve. It’s making my left leg hurt a lot.
This happened to me once before and the doctor gave me muscle relaxers which don’t work.

So I had an MRI done and it said I have a bulging disc, the very lower part of my back. they said it was mild to moderate. I had got 1 injection in my back, that did not help at all. they said i had little to no reflexes in my right leg and and very little in left. the pain gets to be so bad I cant handle it anymore. Its in both sides of lower back and goes down my legs, and makes legs and feet numb. does anybody have any suggestions, or know what they may try next? For now I’m takin vicodin and muscle relaxers along with rest until the pain is under better control.

I have a bulging disc in C-5/C6 and the MRI showed no nerve compression of any sort. However, the neck is supposed to be curved and mine is abnormally straight. I still have full range of motion and flexibility, but not in my right shoulder right now…I was in a car accident about 2 months ago. For the past two weeks I have not done anything to bring on this intense shoulder pain that radiates down to my elbow and sometimes into my hand. I was prescribed muscle relaxers and NSAID’s but they do not help at all! I see a chiropractor, physical therapist, massage therapist and my MD on a weekly basis.I feel like the pain has gotten significantly worse over the past two weeks and I am getting a lot more headaches as well. Can a rupture be causing this pain? How can I tell if it ruptured? Is there anything else I can do to alleviate my pain?

Last 3-4 days have been having MAJOR lower back problems. It started hurting one day while doing work in an attic and I twisted funny coming out of the attic. On top of this, my bed is about 10 years old, very soft (ZERO FIRMNESS) and actually slouchs a little in the middle. So now over these last few days it’s gotten worse and worse, and even when I walk sometimes I feel my right leg give way as the pain shoots down in a wrapping sensation from my lower back to my leg. What can I do besides seek help from a medical physician? Stretching? What to do while sleeping? Pain meds? Muscle Relaxers?

Anything that would help is greatly appreciated!

My boyfriend has no insurance and has went to the dr a couple times but it is expensive since he is paying cash and he really cannot afford to keep going. All they do is give 15 pain pills each time with some muscle relaxers which is just a temporary fix, soon as the meds are gone he is back in pain. Any suggestions or ideas to relieve his pain are appreciated.

I was rear ended 4 months ago. No doubt of the other guys guilt. He received 2 tickets for it and we even have the surveillance video from the store I was turning into. My question is, I received as they call it a soft tissue injury. I was taken by ambulance to the emergency room, MRIs showed the muscles affected were spasming severely. I was put on a 5 lb weight limit and pain pills and muscle relaxers. I was unable to do even routine things like sweep my floors let alone able to even pick up my children. The insurance company is not denying their responsibility but they only want to pay me 00 to cover my pain and suffering and mental anguish due to the recklessness of their client. I missed work, I have unpaid medical bills still that are currently in collections, and I still have pain if I over due it at work to this day. They are willing to pay my medical bills of 00. I have asked for ,000 to cover what I believe the pain and suffering and the total disruption to my life for the last 4 months since their client negligently hit me. They claim the 00 is their final offer, am I asking for too much? Or are they just not willing to pay what they should. I know of people who have gotten alot more for alot less happening.
It took me 3 1/2 months to decide what I have been though does equal money because I didn’t want to sound greedy. But realisticly how else to you get validation for the heartache, pain, stress, and interuption of your life? I feel by not "paying" something they are belittling the real pain, the loss of experiences, the loss of time that I missed out and can never get back because of their clients carelessness.
Thank you to those who understand what I was asking. Boo to those of you who try to judge and down grade what I am doing. 5 months ago I may have said the same thing as some of you, then I have had to go through the hell of this "accident". Don’t judge me until you have walked in my shoes. For those of you with the good advice, I have planned on settling for less without a lawyer, mainly because the guy’s insurance policy won’t pay more than ,000 so if I used a lawyer I would probably only get -6,000 anyways. I just wanted to make sure I was on the right track. Thank you!!
