Some of these include heartburn, opiates, opiates in cough syrup, referred pain, etc.
How far back are you digging, I don't even remember a thread about opiates in cough syrup:wtf:. As for any opiate-painkiller talk, I've only touched lightly on these issues on the few facts I know, what "misinformation" is going on there? The hearburn thread, that was theory and I stated it as such, and I was fully open to correcting my theory, read it again. Anything to do with referred pain generally comes from my own experience and not even espewing medical science, but stuff that generally works (hot baths, anti-inflammatories, ice packs, yoga, etc.)


Some of those could have been avoided by not writing the posts in terms of absolute certainty. It may be something as simple as you are unaware of it or something deeper like ego stroking.
And that is why I said you missed the mark in your evaluation of me. I don't even know how you consider trying to help "ego stroking", I just genuinly wanted to help a few people out. Like I said, it may come off as absolute certainty, but I didn't intend it as such and I said I'd work on that. If I learn a fact, I state a fact. If that fact turns out to be wrong, I change it. When did I suddenly get labeled the egomaniacle nutcase?

You also do a lot of doctor bashing in many of your posts.
I express my frustrations with the medical system, I rarely "bash" my doctors. I have one that's really good actually.

You have bashed them multiple times in the past 2 days in this thread alone (beat with a wet noodle, kick in their asses, they just say I dunno know, useless medical science, etc).
- "wet noodle" not my quote.
- "kick in the ass", as in get them moving, make them do something. That's about the closest to a "bash" in this thread, and a relevant explanation IMO.
- "I dunno"... guess what, that's what they say. They haven't given me a good answer so far, what do you want me to say "the docs do know what's wrong with me" even if they don't?
- "useless medical science", followed by Jesus's magical powers.... come on man, it's a tongue-in-cheek remark. I wouldn't study medical science as a hobby myself if I actually thought it was useless.

Honestly FBR, you're turning molehill's into mountains.

Here comes a Star Wars quote (was it Yoda?) Fear leads to Anger. Anger leads to Hate. Hate leads to suffering. Let go of the resentments and I think it may help you.
Haha, yoda, there's a philosopher we can all agree on:thumbsup:.

You also want your doctors to do more than push meds but when they had you doing physical therapy you complained about the cost and that you could do that all on your own (see above thread).
So which is it? It seems that when they try to do things in some ways you want it but other ways you are objecting to it. Also, the way you dismissed it so quickly and said you could do the therapy on your own it kind of goes to the certainty talk.
Physio barely helped, and yes I learned the excercises and practice them at home myself every second day, does it matter where I do them? Muscle-strength and flexibility really aren't the issue, I'm very strong and flexible from my excercises now and they're not fixing a thing. And seeing as I don't have $40 to spend every second day (or any money at all), all I'm asking is for another option. Or do I not deserve a second option because I'm not made of money?

In the same breath I hear you often times say different things about how much pain meds you want and what kind (you just talked about the morphine was great but you don't want to take it and get addicted). It gets all so confusing keeping up with you and whether you want more or less pain killers.
That was unclear? let me clarify. Morphine killed my pain, I took it once, I won't keep taking it because I don't want to be a morphien addict. I think that's a pretty sound health decision. Just because I said it worked once (and of course it worked) doesn't mean I want to get on it.

So try to be open to constructive criticism as I'm not trying to chastise you but help you although it might sting a bit at first.
I'm open to it, but I'd appreciate you not colouring me like an egomaniacle asshole who think's he's smarter than the whole world. Maybe you think so, but at least I know that's not the case.

We'll have a talk about Elisabeth Kubler-Ross and DABDA some other time! :thumbsup:
Ohhhh K, I've never heard of this but sounds interesting. If you ever make a thread I'll be happy to learn and, yes, not try to teach anything.

Also, please be more aware of how you word your responses to other members.
I'm always aware, albeit occasionally angry (not anymore) in situations like this. I think a good portion of both our problems is that we think and express in very different ways, and misinterpret each other. Anyway I can burry the hatchet if you can, I've still had a high opinion of you as a member overall.
Gandalf_The_Grey Reviewed by Gandalf_The_Grey on . Pinched nerve, how can I fix it? I'm in so much frickin pain right now and this is the 3rd day it's been going on. I've got this nerve in the top-left vertebrae of my neck that's been damaged for years, and usually it gets pressed on a bit and gives me general neck pain. But now the nerve is just stabbing, sending huge pain through my neck, shoulder, and head. It's like there's a knife stuck in there, it hurts so friggin bad and I just wanna make it stop. I've already tried taking 75mg pregabalin, 500mg acetaminophen, Rating: 5
