Advice on annular tear and mri results

[ADR seeker]

Doctors have a lot of fancy words mostly Latin which is a dead language. I think we know more about the surface of the moon that they structure and function of the spine. Doctors are not all that well informed nor is it in the best financial interest to be informed. They make more money when they fail. Crazy huh?

I have had various bouts of PT and it either made me worse or did nothing. The only thing that bought me time was chiropractic care and now that is not working.

Try GENTLE traction and chiropractic care. Get one of those Sleep Number beds.

You may need to have an MRI done while you are standing of seated.

Well I guess it is crazy but I know why it happens capitalist system with people wanting to make money. Even if they don't know what is wrong with you, they will pretend to know. In the process they may damage people and often do. It was amazing how I actually dreamed my spine was in a jar after the physio pushed on my spine.

I use to weigh 86kg now I way 56kg within 6 months. my muscle has disappeared and I look like that guy of silver chair. daniel johns he had reactive arthritis.

I don't think anything will show in mri for a while because my body is attacking itself. it takes time to damage and show in mri I think. well thats what the specialist told me. I just hope it goes away before it damages me permanently. I think the pain I have is inflammation and joint pain throughout body hence why I lost so much weight. my immune system or the medications pretty much ate my muscle in 4 months.

I find it hard to eat cos of the medications but even when I eat i am still losing weight. my thighs are half the size and people know i am sick just by looking at me now. I look like a junkie compared to what i use to be although I just look skinny to someone who never met me. auto immune disease is so hard to diagnose I have to wait. I am still not diagnosed but I am confident I have reactive arthritis otherwise I would have thought I was dying slowly.

has anyone experienced Reactive arthritis. see I don't have a lot of the classic symptoms such as eye inflammation or swollen feet. just severe pain with little swelling.

hey guys sorry to hear you have similar situations and really hope you guys recover. I also think that money is the biggest issue for people when they are sick, its sad it has to be like that. as an architect I would like to design buildings that are nicer but money ruins it for everyone. I love this world but money and corruption just seems way too easy and people forget about themselves or their friends. Most of the time people don't notice it but money and corporation suck the life out of us. wish I lived with the Egyptians sometimes see before capitalist they never had the number zero or negative numbers. they started with 1 not 0. so in other words our society lives in fear of going negative. really their is no zero or nothing. their is always something. the number zero is only a mental entity. so just remember this capitalist world that most live in is created by purely the mind. We do not know quality of life, we merely only know how to quantify life. Its not the people , its the systems in place. Its hard to stop it once it starts. Its just the way it is, this is what I try to tell myself. oil and money is a primitive way of life is all I am saying.


Anywho, just been fighting the reactive arthritis. I couldn't even skip it hurt so bad(this made me concerned considering I use to box and skip everyday). I started to do 30 seconds everyday of skipping. I also performed light weights, swimming and walking. I can now walk longer and longer it is actually amazing. I weighed 56kg and now I am 66kg(normal body weight is 76kg. I been drinking pea protein because my inflammation of the bowel cannot handle other protein. I have forced myself to eat and has helped big time.

I got better and better. To be honest I am still sick but I move around as much as I can because it makes me feel better afterwards even though it hurts while I exercise. I have excellent improvement and my specialist said my spine has improved. He believes that my body can possibly stop attacking my joints and organs one day. the specialist was confident I will get better if I keep fighting it. This is when a heart of gold is handy because you do not know if it will work but it is worth everything.


obviously other people have problems that do not even allow them to move around but if you can move around and your doctor says you can JUST KEEP MOVING.

I found my situation got worse mainly because it hurt so much to move. I started to stiffen up but lately with anti inflammatory and exercises . I been doing bruce lee isometric training. when I sit now, even when I am in pain I will try the isometrics when sitting. look its not a miracle worker but it helps. I believe if I keep taking anti- inflammatory and training my core I may be able to sit.

I guess with a reactive arthritis its best to keep moving if you can otherwise it just gets worse. Hydro therapy is the key.

the symptoms I was experiencing are far better than before and am grateful to everyone on this site who gave me advice.

I just wanted to say I am almost completely better from acupuncture and traditional Chinese herbals to improve the blood flow.

Anyone with any illness like reactive arthritis, fibro or whatever, I advice highly to do ACUPUNCTURE, it actually worked for me. I have also read others who got better from acupuncture.

my friend had epilepsy and the acupuncture and herbals helped him too. we are both going out partying, meeting girlies and having a fantastic life again. I still have minor pain but acupuncture keeps me on top of it and makes me recover fast.

good luck and I have my life back. If nothing helps you get acupuncture it really does help the blood flow, and the herbals helped me sleep and stay calm. I had anxiety disorder which is gone now too. I probably will not return to this site cause it reminds me of the hell I went through, but wanted to share what helped me so I can possibly help others
