Pain Relief

I am in pain! I already know that I have mild scoliosis, with my back looking like an ‘S’ both front to back and side to side on x-ray, and I’ve been to three chiropractors over the past twenty years with moderate success. Now, at age 47, I suffer from very bad upper back and neck pain, stiffness and muscle spasms, and I have pain in my right hip and knee joints that is occasional but pretty bad when it hits. I have chronic insomnia for thirteen years that has been drug resistant, and this discomfort only adds to it. I’m not adverse to alternative medicine, but I need something that’s going to give me some quick relief!

I’d try a scoliosis specialist first. Any doctor without the specialized training doesn’t have the expertise to treat scoliosis.

Seeing a pain management doctor is something you can do at the same time as seeing the scoliosis specialist. This doctor will work with you, probably starting out with weaker meds. Give the drug a good chance to work, then tell the doctor if it worked or not. The doctor can try other things, by themselves or in combination.

Advil offers only temp relief In pain

Similar thing happened to me about a year ago, I was working out and apparently strained muscles in the neck and shoulder area. Caused me about 10 days of very intense “Cluster Headaches” (as they are called). I would take the medication they have given you though and see if it helps. I had to get some pure oxygen treatment a couple of times at the doctor for it (had no idea that helps, but it works very well) and they gave me some medication that I forget now what it was at the time.
