Could I have been mis-diagnosed for all this pain I feel?

I have had several MRI's done over the years to keep up with my syringomyelia that was discovered during basic training in 2000, but according to the neurologist, that I finally got in to see this year in 2007, the syringomyelia couldn't possibly be causing the pain that I am in. I am suffering from severe pain in my back & hips, that is constant, and the severity comes in and out. Some days I can move with a dull achy pain, and others I can barely move or I would scream it hurts so bad.

My migraines have also increased in length, and frequency, and I don't know what else to do? I can't afford real medical help, and my ER visits are way too expensive......... Can any one help me?

Maybe you should go and see about getting on medicaid they usually will help if you need on going treatment for something like this. My sister in law has a great job so does her husband but she has a medical condition that she has to go to the doctors to get check ups and meds for. Medicaid covers everything because it is an condition that she will need treated for, for the rest of her life.

It is very possible that you could of been misdiagnosed.

Wow! I am so sorry! That sounds awful! You know I was misdiagnoised several times before I had brain surgery. I had brain surgery last year and I had been trying to figure out what it was for two years. They did MRI's and Cat Scans and it was nothing coming up on them until I went and saw a new nuerologist and she saved my life. I took her copies of my MRI's and she identified it immedietly!!!! I was so happy! You need to move aorund to other doctors and get seccond opinions because your helath is so importnant. I had symptoms of bad bad headeaches and back pain and in my hips sometimes. I had which was called a Venous Angioma and Chiari 2 Malformation! Look those up! Also, if you believe in psychics you can call Sylvia Browne. Im not being funny. A girl that I used to work with was having health problems and she told me she called her and Sylvia told her what to do and she was right and she ended up having a tumor on her liver!!! Good luck sweetie and i hope it allworks out for you!!

SOUNDS LIKE YOU LIFTED SOMETHING AND HURT YOUR BACK. IF YOU WERE NOT LIFTING CORRECTLY THEN IT CAN BE VERY, VERY PAINFUL.

WHAT COULD HELP YOU VERY MUCH IS TO STAY IN BED FOR 2 OR 3 DAYS AND TAKE A TYLENOL PM AT NIGHT TO HELP YOU SLEEP AND RELAX.

IF YOU FEEL SOME RELIEF AFTER THE FIRST OR SECOND NIGHT THEN THAT IS WHAT HAS HAPPENED.

I have a chiropracor who works miracles. Like REAL ones! Sounds like you need to see one. A good one will tell you right off, if they cannot help. Bless your bones, man! Pain sucks! I'll send lots of positive energy your way!

Hi! I'm so sorry to hear that you are pain. Your symptoms sound like Fibromyalgia. It would account for the pain and migraines. Please heed the advice of the others and check into medicaid or a free clinic located near you. Best of luck hun!

I had numbness and pain 5 years ago. Medication and therapy did not help. A supplement in powder form was the answer to my prayers to my pain. If you pain is nutrition related, this supplement works. You can write me at jade_flowershop@yahoo.com if you want to try it. Its only available thru MLM.
