Car accident left me in constant neck/spine pain.

Hey all. Well I've been going to electro therapy every morning this week. Then doing excerisces. I have been in alot of pain latly and been trying to stay indorrs cause of this damn cold weather! But I kinda messed everything up yesterday. Me and the woman had a very nice night since my whole accident I was kinda out of the loop. Well, by the next morning (today) I was feeling it, and bad. Heating/icing my back/neck/and rib since I think I kinda brused it a little more from my moment with her. I'm in alot of pain now, took 4 hydros and 2 SOMAS (350mg) and i'm kinda relaxing right now. Just got an iphone so im kinda in an up mood since I got a new toy lol. But yeah, I'll keep you guys updated! And thanks effie for understanding, and yeah I wanted to avoid a situation hahah. I don't want anymore more drama than there already is/was in my life hahaha :) <3
 
Speaking of electricity..... there are TENS units available by prescription for home use; they're small, versatile, are every bit as good as the fancy TENS units found in doctor/rehab offices, and are normally covered by insurance just the same as any doctor-ordered medication.

Pain-management docs & rehab therapists don't normally tell patients about home TENS units, since they make more money from people having to make office visits for treatments like that.
 
I have my own tens unit it helps my back and shoulder a lot. It was pretty cheap too. I cant use it on my crps affected areas though, it would likely cause me to die lol
 
Yeah, my father has one but it's missing like 2 pads and a connecter so I'm sol on that. My therapy appointments are free because of my insurance including a No Fault policy on it. My insruance pays for all docs visits injury realted, no co-pay so its nice. Been going everyday. Today I went and did some stretches that ended a little soon because it was putting me in alot of pain. Plus its been giving me migranes since then
 
Have you considered spinal cord stimulation?
I'd look into it because you maybe be able to benefit from it.

It's okay! I still like to know everyones opionion. Maybe people repeating stuff means I have to maybe open my ears more. I was in the cold for a good hour straight today, and boy did my back hate me afterwards lol.
 
I bet. The temp gives me seizures, 1 degree too hot ortoo cold and im fooked. The cold pain hurts a lot more though.
 
He is at the beginning of an injury with no pronosis therefore does not warrant such surgery in such a short amount of time. Ive been waiting 29 months for one now and i have crps stage 4 in most of my body.

Yeah, it's almost going to be a month (Dec 5th.) Even though the pain is not as bad the week after, the after pain from that is constant. I just really hope that goes away at some point. My sex drive has been very very low due to me feeling the pain even more, and my woman is not liking it to much and I dont blame her since we are very connected during sex... What can you do....
 
Its ok your bpdy is recupperating so your hormones change, and your brain. Are youon any anti depressants? I had a car crash 10 years ago where i ended up with severe whiplash and a trapped nerve i was fine after a few months fully healed by about 8 but still get odd twing in my neck/back in winter. Youshould start heling with the physio it is of the upmost importance to do the exercises and keepyour neck moving,i trained semi pro mma so i know alot about injuries and soft tissue/nerve damage. Im sure you willheal up good if you work with your dr and physio :)
 
I take Wellbutrin 350mg everday. Though, the past 2 days I have not taken them because I forgot. I've been on anti-depressents for about 6 years now on and off. Been on 3 brands since. Zoloft made me into a zombie so i quickly got rid of that one. I usually have a hard time taking anti-depressents cause even now I feel like it dosn't really help too much so why bother. Dosn't Anti-depressents also lessen sex drive? I had a buddy who was on Wellbutrin 350mg and he said he couldn't stop masterbaiting. He would do it like 5 times a day, and he felt crazy. I guess it's just how your body takes it in.
 
Welbutrin/buproprion is one of the few anti-dep meds that doesn't sink a sex drive, or cause impotence.

However, consistent use of opiates alone can also destroy sex drive. That's one reason why they say dope is better than sex. 8)
 
Update:

Hey all, well today I just took 3 somas (350mg) and I am starting to feel really dizzy, and out of it. I have never felt like this before and I've taken 3 SOMAS efore and felt fine (relaxed) but I just took 3 (oral) and now I am feeling really weird. I also took took 2 hydros 5's before that. It's weird because I have a decent tolerance and I never felt like this before. Is it because I took them 1 hour after I just woke up? My pain in still there but now as much.
 
Soma is a potentiator for opiates, so be very careful careful when mixing the two. I've seen a few ODs as a result, and nearly had one myself at one point..... and I have a brutal natural tolerance for junk.

This ordeal lasted for a good 45 min. After I started feeling better again. I've never had this experience before and I've done this with even more hydros before. I woke up in such pain I needed something to help me. Maybe it was because I pretty much just woke up. Also I haven't eaten yet. I'm fine though now :)
