Spinal Injury. Back/Nerve Damage

[reedza71]

i have 20 collapsed vertebrae with disc protusions at all levels, and DDD. been told due to the amount i think there are much they can do? just pain meds. i use butrans pain patches 20mcg ones which help a bit with the pain. and also use baclofen and the good old amtriptyline which most with back troubles take. i find the mind the biggest challenge!! not working is not easy.

how are you doing now? did you ever have a nerve conduction study? Which discs did you injure? most common is L5s1 which is your tail bone basically.I have has 2 discs in my low back and 2 in my neck, mabe I can answer questions, if you are still in need of help.

I feel like I'm 99% recovered, for now.I could get arthritus problems later in life. I'm active, walking to work and hitting the gym from time to time. The weather gives me problems sometimes and controled substance based pain meds are a no no, but life from that accident has, if anything, made me a better person.

[SeanGizzle]

So sorry to hear you're suffering so, JR. You are a great guy and you can overcome this injury; your youth will enable you to.

[JRHulbret]

Thank you very much for your concerns and kind words. I have my good days and bad days. It has taught me endurance.

[glenmyrtle]

Thanks for your video...don't ever give up; never. Pray; whatever you gotta do; there's a reason for this; hang in there!

[JRHulbret]

Thank you very much for your encouragement and suggestions. I'm not one to give up so it's just A matter figuring out what will work best for me.

God bless

JR

[JRHulbret]

Thanks again for the video Jane

I didn't even like the idea of a disk epi, where they put a needle in your disk.

Surgery of any kind simply isn't an option.

[SFJane]

you are very welcome JR :)

The spinal stretch I demonstrated for you can be found in only one book. That book is Opening the Energy Gates of Your Body by Bruce Frantzis.

He rebuilt his spine after having his spine shattered in a car accident. His story in more detail is in the book.

[SFJane]

If at all possible don't ever accept a spinal fusion. According to chinese medicine principles you would be permanently impeding the circulation of energy in your back.

If at ever possible never let anything penetrate your spinal column ever.

[SFJane]

I apologize for my delay getting back to you :)

I might make a companion video to that one with more detailed moves.

Another therapy you may want to try is Feldenkrais Method. by Moshe Feldenkrais.

Like yourself, I have good days and bad days but these techniques allow me to function mostly, most of the time.

I've had two back operations JR

now i be dealin wif pain from da scar tissue

as i type dis I have a heating pad on my back

so i know where you comin from wif da

constant back pain

[JRHulbret]

Thank you fer reaching out MsO.

My dad's advice,( coming from someone who has had two back surgeries himself, along with 5 herniations) was to hold off on surgery until I can't get out of bed.

The pain comes and goes. It is what it is.

[sweetesttaboo2k]
