Can anyone help me. for five years i have had extreme sensitivity in my mid spine. i get sharp pain from that point to my sides and i can't move quickly our it will shoot pain. It feels like something is pinching and i have done xrays, mri, everything to find an answer. I'm now trying a nerve treatment pill thinking that maybe my nervous system is lacking certain B vitamins.

@raymondvega05 I would have went in to be assessed. There may be a chance you could get it. But you posted back in November so you would have known by now. Hope all is well.

@ALEZTHEGREAT You can simply get it by close contact with a person who has it. It is from bacteria called haemophilus influenza, streptococcus pneumonia, or neisseria meningitidis. This bacteria can invade the lining of the brain called meninges. There are many signs and symptoms that assist in diagnosing but its scary because its a rapid onset. You could get it from kissing, smoking, direct contact with the bacteria (like countertops etc.). BUT THERE ARE ANTIBIOTICS AND VACCINES to help.
