How Can Severe Pain Around The Neck Be Treated?

I have not been treated for the CRPS/RSD that I was sent to Atlanta Ga the my doctor in Commerce sent me. I moved to West Virginia in 2006 and a few years ago my Dr Chaney was treating for the pain. But he lost both his legs and since then I have not been treated for the CRPS/RSD. The pain doctor at the pain center will not even listen to me. Even his nurse told me in Feb. 2018 that I was wasting my time, that no matter what I said it was going in one ear and out the other because he was only going to treat me for what he can see in Xray s and MRI s etc. He allows me three Percocet 10 a day. I was on a higher dose and taking it four times a day. There were days I could take one or two and then there were days I had to take the four for a few days. And I could sit at my computer and write my poetry and work on my novel. I could do my oil painting. But since Chaney left, I could not get a doctor to do anything for me for a year. I ran into his Practitioner who know m,e from CHaney s office and he is treating me now, but I get the Flexaril and Percocet from the pain center. He wont even listen to me. I need a doctor and don t know of one anywhere around here. I can t go to Charleston because I get lost even with the expensive GPS my brother in law bought me after my husband died, 100% service connected I am proud to say. How can I make the pain center listen, and also, the Neurologists refused to even see me after they found I have a herniated spinal cord in my neck area and a herniated spinaol cord in my low back. What can I do? Please help. Living in excessive pain. And I have a high tolerance for pain.

Hello,

As per your history, it may be due to nerve compression at cervical spine level

For further assessment I would suggest you to do MRI neck and nerve conduction studies

For that you can take tablet acetaminophen. Apply diclofenac gel or ointment locally. Heating pads will also help

You may require tablet Pregabalin after consultation. Do regular physiotherapy

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale, General & Family Physician
