Hi,
Well my neurologist has dumped me-cannot find anything else to give me. I am so depressed. My ribs hurt too. I think it is all muscle related fibro pain. I had 1 hour of massage and also an hour of accupuncture with no relief. My sternocleidomastoid muscles feel like they are tearing behind my ears, cannot wear my glasses any more. I feel like I am about ready to have a heart attack from the muscle spasms over the ribs. I am going to increase my magnesium intake and see if that helps. My latest MRI of my neck does not look good either although the neuro says it is normal. The doctors all make me sick. I had a posterior cervical laminectomy in 2002 for spinal stenosis, then the C2 nerve ablation in 2004 for the headaches. Now I have unbearable head pain. Wish I could go to the Bonati Laser Spine Clinic in Florida. I think they could help me. I am worried I have arachnoiditis. Don't know what the pain clinic will do Monday but I cannot take any more occipital nerve blocks. They only last 2 weeks and then my skin starts bleeding from the steroids too. I am about ready to really give up. I do have a friend with occipital neuralgia and trigeminal neuralgia that takes Avinza and Neurontin and got relief of her pain but I cannot take Neurontin. I do not know the answer any more.
