Good evening sir

Thank you for writing on health care magic

Well, i have gone through your records. You have undergone a lot of surgeries. But what i could not get from your history right now, is the main complaint troubling you. Is it the neck pain or pain anywhere else which is causing you to be immobilized and away from work. If you could lay more insight onto it, it would be of great help. I can try and guide you further to a solution.

Looking forward to your reply

I am totally disabled/retired. You asked about my neck, it is called "Welders Neck" I don't have time to explain to you;
My 7 discs are bone to bone in my neck. As you must know this causes pain throughout my whole body. Also headaches and pinched nerve problems (upper xterimity) that requires me to get a shot once a year. Also sense my back operation I have severe flairups, that makes it difficult for me to drive. The pain shoots down my right let and testicle.
I have 2 screws in my right elbow to hold the tendons.
At this time it has been feeling like it is loose and coming out.
You asked about my pain levels and what hurts the most.......This varies and is hard to explain but it just seems to move around and I am in constent pain in at all times mostly reaching level 7.
I have MRI records at Saint Maries Hospital, In Saint Maries Idaho. (left knee, my right elbow, back, and neck).
I can retain these records for you if needed, please let me know.
I am not sure how this site works but I need pain relief and hoping you can help or recommend a Doctor near me.
Sorry my reply too so long. I have been in allot of pain and discomfort.
Thank you for any help you can give. XXXXXXX Liberatore Sr.

Brief Answer:
Widespread Pain

Good evening

Thank you for writing on health care magic

Yeah, it s been a while since i heard from you. Well about the site, here we are able to guide you to the right doctor and the treatment options available for you. As such, whatever we prescribe here cant be used for getting medications.

as i can see, you have been having lot of fractures along with widespread pain everywhere. I would recommend you to start on calcium, vitamin d supplements for the bone stregnth. For the widespread pain due to nerves irritation, i would recommend Pregalin M 75 mg once daily at night, which has to be increased after a week. It should help you out in getting relief.

As for the doctors around, i am sorry i dont know anyone in Idaho. If you can arrange a trip to XXXXXXX i have my cousin there who can see you at the earliest.

Feel free to ask me for more queries
Would be happy to help you out with whatever i can

Regards
Dr Naval
