herniated disc !!!help!!!
This will be a long post.
Spinal stenosis is narrowing of the spinal canal around the spinal cord....just to clear that up. A bone spur is an osteophyte. A slipped disc is a lay term. Ruptured disc is valid and this means the structure has leaked and lost it's ability to cushion the joint....and more importantly it narrows the space where the nerve roots come out and generally that is exquisitely painful. There is no worse pain in my mind, and I have had kidney stones and heart attack.
I had to have my neck fused twice, and have 3 narrowed discs along with spinal stenoses.
First get rid of the chiropractor until you can be sure he will not cause nerve damage....I have permanent damage thanks to one. MRI is great.
Neurontin is bad, dangerous stuff and I would do anything to stay off that.
Go to an ER and get some Flexeril, or Skelaxin or some other muscle relaxant until you can get some good weed. If you can tolerate NSAIDS like ibuprofen, take that but be positive to take it with food or you will ruin your stomach. Can you chiropractor write for either of those drugs?
HOT SOAKS work to increase blood flow and decrease inflammation which in turn will decrease spasms.
DUDE I do feel for ya. Been there, lived that. Don't let it kill ya man, keep the chin up. I woke up from surgery and hurt less than before, and it sounds like you are going to need some surgery.
Best of luck
