As many of you know I have lumps in my back which are likely to be neuro fibromas. However, I have been in so much pain of late in my spine from shoulder blade level up through my neck. I went for a massage the other day, but she reckons the pain is not muscular. I was crying with the pain last night and today. I eventually used a hot water bottle on the area which has helped. The pain is so severe at times I actually feel like I'm going to throw up.
Anyway, this pain gets worse & worse, despite pain relief, then it's almost as if something has burst and the relief is immediate. Then it builds up again over a few days. It feels like it's swollen but I can't see anything.
Anyone got any ideas? So fed up with this and I have little faith in GP. When this pain first happened about 18 months ago, he just said I'd popped a rib and that was that, no x-ray, nothing. I've been trying to cope with this, but last night and earlier today was the worst ever. Hubby went and got me some co-codamol to take, but am trying not to use them until bedtime.
Sorry for the moan. Maybe should have a few stiff drinks.
