Bulging disc

[Guest guest]

A problem should never be measured by how big it is, but by how much pain it

causes.  I had a doctor tell me that the pain was all in my head. He is right

about that. Pain is registered in the brain. It is transported to the brain by

the nerves. All it really takes to cause excruciating pain is for the nerve to

be pinched, as in the case of a bulging disc.

You can give up on making your doctor understand anything. After all, even if he

/ she did understand that your pain is actually real, you cannot fix a problem

if you do not understand what the problem is.

I finally gave up on my doctors after I was misdiagnosed 4 times. I was x-rayed

so much that I should glow in the dark. I disrobed and got examined again and

again and again.

I finally found an osteopath who was immediately able to tell me that I had one

leg shorter than the other because of a twisted pelvis. (I didn't have to take

off any clothing, and he was able to tell me exactly where my pain was. The

conventional doctors asked me where it hurt.)  I also had bulging discs. I got

the first relief I ever had in all the years since my problem began.

So, what can you do?

I hang upside down on my inversion table and it helps to relieve the compression

that makes my bulging discs hurt. I also lie down on my trueback (a device

invented by a chiropractor) and let it use gravity and my own body weight align

my spinal column. 

It helps relieve the pain of sciatica as well.

I am a massage therapist and fell down some stairs that were improperly

built. I injured my back and have not worked since March 2009. Every time I

attempt to do a massage the pain kicks in really bad. The doctors don't seem to

think this should stop me from working. I know I am suppose to put my issues in

a box before entering the massage room so that I can focus on my client, but

this is hard to do when the pain is throbbing so bad.

 

 

 

How do you get the doctors to understand that?
