    Thank you for your reply 😊 I will continue posting. My original post did say I wanted some advice. But my “some” members I feel like they’ve not taken on board my experience/pain/symptoms and are trying to push theirs onto me which hasn’t helped with the feeling of been overwhelmed and upset by...

    Hi! Long back story shortened - I have suffered with pain since 11. I am now 15. Previous prolapsed disc diagnosed at 12 which has now resolved itself. Bulging disc currently in my spine - this is contributing to a small percentage of my back pain. I am currently taking 900mg daily of...

    Hi John. Yet again, following an MRI and assessments - I have some pain in my back from a bulging disc. The MAK consultant has confirmed this is not the cause of all my pain. I am feeling quite deflated with you batting away what I know about my own body.

    Hi John. Although you have been quite consistent with advising me I do not have fibromyalgia, despite a diagnose following lots of treatment for 15 years including both medication and alternative - again please see my original post whereby I had to complete a criteria questionnaire. I experience...

    Also, if you refer back to my original post you will see I have a diagnosis from a consultant that I do have Fibromyalgia. I was simply asking for some advice and Seeing if anyone had similar symptoms in order to suggest things that would help. I would feel more comfortable taking a diagnosis...

    Hi again :) I have seen my Upto date MRI scan. There is a bulging disc but no nerve compression. The consultant has said that this will be causing SOME of my pain the middle of my back. But not the cause for everything. I have tried a mulitidue of pain meds previously which didn’t take my pain...

    I meant to say - “why you think it wouldn’t be fibro?” Thanks 😊

    A second reply - Sorry! The consultant advised that stress may be the cause of the tension in my shoulders. But other than that - everything else has been pinned down due to Fibro

    Hi 😊 For clarity the bulging disc is located between T7/T8 and isn’t showing and major nerve compression. So the consultant advised although it may be causing some pain in that area during certain movements, it’s not the cause for anything else

    My MRI was completed and reviewed by a consultant in the Muscular Skeletal department. I have seen the scan and the bulging disc is in the middle of my spine and isn’t showing any sign of compressing nerves. I asked if that’s what is the root cause of everything else. He has told some of the...

    Hello everyone. I’m not really 100% sure myself why I’ve come here. Maybe for some advice and reassurance. I began complaining of back pain at 11 and following an MRI scan, I was told I had a prolapsed disc at the bottom of my back along with nerve compression. I was under paediatric care...
