Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My husband has been in terrible pain for many years. At one point the doctor stated that he had too much iron in his blood. The doctor had it done two times, then stopped. Without checking his blood. Now we are going to a pain clinic at a nationally recognized hospital. He seems to have all of the symptoms of hemochromatosis. Could this be his problem? Could it be that easy. The hospital pain doctor has given him shots in the shoulders (steriods) and nerve blocks in the spine. Also, put him on Lyerica, which did not do any good. I m really worried and have really tried everything with no help. My husband is in bed, in a chair, when he does anything, smallest work he is not able to do anything (because of so much pain) for days after. Please give me some help -- to help him.
Hemochromatosis does not generally cause pain. If it does, then it would be quite generalized since iron is everywhere. The iron and ferritin levels would be quite high in condition like hemochromatosis which causes fatal liverinjury eventually.
