Thanks Jan. Sorry, I will delete mri. I guess I want to believe it is tms because I did go through all the steps of going to doctors the first time and there were no answers and nothing helped. I know my anxiety made the symptoms worse and delayed my healing. I guess I don't know if I should...

A summary of my story which I originally posted Dec 2015: I had injured my neck on an amusement park in August 2015 and that same night I started getting numbness and pain in my arms and legs. The neck pain didn't start later. Went through physical therapy, acupuncture, chiropractor...

Hello, it has been two years since my last post and I just wanted to give an update. Over the past two years my nerve pain had decreased significantly and I would rarely think about it. Up until yesterday, I was doing great. I had lifted my nephew in his baby carrier and I must have pulled...

Congratulations Branson!

Hi tgirl, I am still fighting my cold and I still have pain not as bad as in the past but I am able to function normally and get through the day although I feel very tired. Lavender, I initially started on 300 mg 3 x a day for my nerve pain but it never helped. I cut one 300 mg pill around 4...

Thank you Tgirl! I came down with a bad cold and yesterday I started feeling the twinges of nerve pain in my hands and feet and my whole body is aching and as I am typing this my right leg is going numb. The pain is very mild but noticeable but I am trying not to panic. Lately, I have been...

Thank you Walt!

Thanks Andy for the reply. I tend have obsessive thoughts over what would appear minor to most people. I always think of the worst. I usually have Tmj type pain under stress but when I was having the nerve pain I didn't notice it. All my thoughts were on the nerve pain. I am trying to...

The physical therapist and chiropractor I had both said I have bad posture. I also have reverse cervical lordosis, which the chiropractor said degenerates the spine more quickly. The chiropractor gave me exercises to correct the reverse lordosis but I haven't done it since I stopped all...

Congratulations!

I read the forum almost every day but I haven't posted recently but I just wanted to update that I am almost healed of my all over body nerve pain but It has been replaced with tooth & gum pain /tmj. To summarize, I have been suffering from nerve pain since early August 2015 after an amusement...

The two neurologists that I saw felt that I was overanxious about my symptoms and wanted to put me on anxiety medicine but I took it as though that they didn't believe that I was in so much pain and I was actually mad at them. I have been under some kind of stress/anxiety since my youngest was...

I am currently trying to reduce gabapentin and was contemplating on going on the lowest dose of zoloft from talking with other mothers who have taken it for depression/anxiety. I have never been on any prescription medicine except for my thyroid until this awful nerve pain began. I am thinking...
