Advice on annular tear and mri results

[Magrego]

ok...........................3 months of seeing numerous doctors even a chiro who said my hip was twisted. I then was hinted by another doctor my iliospoas was sore. so I stretched and it got a little better.

sciatica came on for 2 days then i stoped stretching and fell victim to intense stabbing pain aching especially in mornings...ect.

depression started and anxiety is taking over while my fear of never knowing what is really wrong. I went to pain management they were saying it was in my head and i needed to take anti depressents. I got upset because i know my pain is being caused by something.

5 months of stabbing and pulling pain. that would go away when I was more active, although I cannot sit at all or work. my hip clicks and i have tight and very sore below and above my waiste all over. what could it be a mystery?

no its muscles that are pulling and twisting things everywhere. I have diareha and constempation. Its beyond a joke as my central nervous system is goin nuts. i got second opinion from a spine speacialist who said i could lift weights and im a stressor. yet ive been told by a chiro I have a twisted hip.

so I didnt stop searching in a anxious and determined manner kept searching until I found some trigapoint charts

triggapoint charts - Google Search

groin chart - Trigger Point Technologies Australia


I booked into see a great massage therapist. after 1 day i felt my legs become free. day 2 massage today ( i still have pain but they found a massive rock hard ball in my groin. i have many other knots and had deep tissue work that is amazing.

I am all spaced out because of the toxins releasing. I think my knots are from having too many protien powder shakes with injuries and working out.

myafascial pain syndrome I guess? I will update the massage therapy results if anyone is interested to learn.

oh also id say because of the difficulty pin pointing my problems in medical shit holes. A lot of others here may have similar problems causing pain and dysfunction and go undiagnosed(average 35-40 month. oh nevr underestimate the pain of muscle trigger points and tightness. It was in my neck and evrywhere im sure this is my problem. I feel violated by sydney practitioners and supposed professionals. i only went undiagnosed for 5 months im the lucky one who found a needle in a hay stack

I thought i would also mention I have had 2 knee surgeys and also 3 car accidents. a contibutor to quadrus lumborian back problems. may have been 10 years of muscular problems from a car accident 110km into a telegraph pole Holden barina) and was triggered 10 years later by excessive desk work. I couldnt breath because seat belt strangled my waiste in the car accident. I released seat belt and I gasped for air. I had whiplash for 2 weeks and never got checked properly. maybe this is the contributor to my long dysfunctional process. who knows but I thought architecture was hard I will be glad too work again soon and let my massage therapist fix my body

kind regards magrego

Magrego,
Glad you found someone that works so well with your knots and pain. I had a wonderful PT that worked on me for a year when I first started pain management back in 2000-2001 and while I'd had myofascial releases done many times before which probably sustained me while I continued working this person had the "gift" of really being able to make a difference with his work w/trigger points/knots/myofascial releases and such.

Congrats on finding someone to help you and hope you'll continue with this recovery and relief! Maria

Relief is relief no matter where you find it and you may have just found it.

Unfortunately, many doctors won't say 'I don't know' and instead, tell you it's in your head.

Your knee surgeries and whiplash... all cause you to carry your body differently which cause muscles to complain. Of course these should be addressed asap and perhaps, when you didn't, they decided to shout their dissatisfaction.

I hope these massages do it for you.

yeh I found a massage therapist who massages australian cricket team. I realized most doctors cannot help. the pain management doctor told me to get the iliopsoas out of my head and stuff. I recon these doctors are in the hands of pharmaceutics companys. should watch a video called making a killing. Doctors can be made very rich if they prescribe. most just wanna drug you lol its a sad world sometimes and i feel sorry for people who never find out what they have.

I now have to quit maryjane as i took it up heavily in this last 5 months lmao. but i tell you thc is the key to pain and mental relief. only problem is I think the toxins from the weed may not help. I do not condone smoking or anything like that but if no one believes your in pain and it is hurting your feelings. the best cure is a big reefa to relax ur mind. some people get paranoid which wouldnt help much I guess. but because I am hypo and energetic(people like me cant sit still for long) so when there injured it effects them greatly because they like being very active.

Im not afraid to admit my life was changing cos of pain. I started being a horticulturist with many plants and species in my bak yard lol. I found a new relaxing life (Bonsais and reefas) I even have a vege patch that will feed me for a year haha.

So I have learnt alot in the 5 month journey. people dont believe what they can't see, i have lost a lot of dickhead friends and kept the best friends who were by my side. half my family dont talk to me now cos they recon im a bludger and there is nothing wrong (my uncle hit me with a newspaper lol) ect.

this made me realise never listen to anyone else unless they show they care. otherwise they just hurt you more or piss u off. I think the solution is never say you have back pain lol. people just think its like there pain they had for 5 minutes ago for 1 hour cos they were bent over wrong. real pain can destroy your central nervous system and you need to work things out.

Kind regards magrego

Gday, I'm on the central coast atm.

Know what you mean with the pain and suffering and family. I never whinged to anyone in 3 years of brutal pain, eventually had the op and was treated like a piece of garbage by my father to the point of hanging up on me a week post op and telling me to 'have a nice life'. I'd forgiven him a lot, but that will do me, he is a piece of filth and I am finished with the miserable prick permanently.

I finally had the surgery (after being sent broke in FNQ by the condition), and am diong very well.

Physio I have found very helpful is

Bounce Back :: Home Page

It's essential really, training your core and biomechanical movements. I found all the rest of it to be rubbish.

Hope u keep on ok. If u consider surgery at some point this is a good place to start. I consulted with a few of the surgeons in Sydney so I can pass on my experience, chrisstaun at gmail.com , if im not on these boards.

good luck

Chris
