I have been told that I have spurs in my back as well as degenerative disk dieses, as well as several pinched nerves. I have been told that I need a doctor of my own however I have no insurance. I have a hard time standing for a long period of time, I cant get comfortable to sleep. I am at the end and cant deal with my pain. what can I do?
A thorough neuromuscular examination is advised followed by an MRI of the spine.
As you have severe pain which is due to nerve impingement I will Advice for a thorough neuromuscular examination and find out what muscles are weaker.
Usually due to the weakness of the muscles in the spinal column the vertebral bodies leaves it's anatomical position and leads to compression on the disc and the disc inturn will lead to compression on the existing nerve roots.
Along with simple pain killers and physical therapy you should respond well. In my clinical practice most patients are referred to physical therapy for nerve impingement and along with therapeutic ultrasound therapy and TENS therapy there pain levels and inflammation is reduced. Post which exercises are implemented leading to strength in the spinal muscles and core muscles. This helps to avoid the compression and also the anatomical position is back for the vertebral bodies so the compression from the nerve root is relived.
