I have severe chronic pain in my back, neck and abdomen. I also have ptsd and severe depression which started in early childhood. I have blackouts which started recently when the pain is severe. I wake up in tears because I m in so much pain. I have a separated right SI joint and several disc problems in my back and neck. What type of doctor do you believe would be most beneficial?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have chronic pain in back, neck and abdomen. Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to certain reasons like trapezius trigger point , muscle spasm , disc problem or working in same posture for long time . The symptoms can also occur due to kidney stone , gallbladder problem or angina . I would suggest you to apply warm compresses to back several times a day , take proper rest , change your posture after after every few minutest while working and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain . Consult orthopedic surgeon if condition doesn't get better . Doctor may order CT scan , MRI or x-ray . Doctor may recommend particular stretching exercises , physical therapy , muscle relaxant or anti inflammatory . Doctor may also refer you to nephrologist for kidney problem or gastroenterologist for gallstone .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
