Chronic Pain After Putting The G-tube. Had Spinal Fusion. Tried Narcotics. Need A Cure
Hello, My daugher has had severe chronic pain for three years. It started when she got a G-tube put in. After that, she started experiencing pain on the left side of body starting with foot then moving up the leg and going into her back. We have ran many, radiology tests and have seen four different doctors. She had a spinal fusion 14 years ago but was doing fine. they have tried different narcotics for the pain but it's not getting to the root problem. I have not found a doctor than can help her. by the way she's been dealing with this since she was 21. She has not had much of a life since then. Could you please help us or give us direction?

Hi,
Thank you for your query.
You mention that your daughter had spinal fusion. A few questions that need to be answered are:
1. At what spinal level the fusion was done and what was the indication?
2. You mention that a number of radiology tests have been done. What are the reports like?
3. Has a MRI of the spine been done?
4. What has been the opinion of a neurologist?
Availability of these informations shall help us in guiding you further. However an examination by a neurologist will be helpful.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
Wishing your daughter an early recovery.
Regards,
