If you present something written down it is all there in black and white. Also make a list of how this impacts on his life - being unable to work, unable to persue hobbies, the effect on your relationship, sleep, effect on mood. I would go back to the GP and take a list of everything he has tried already - including medication (including things like paracetamol), physio, chiropractor etc and what the effects of those things were, good and bad. The issue is that he is still in pain whatever the cause might be, and the pain needs to be managed better. I was in this situation for a very long time with my chronic pain. It's very frustrating when a scan comes back "normal" as it doesn't really give you any answers about the pain. I'm sorry your husband - and presumably you - are suffering like this. anyone any similar stories or any help? his quality of life has changed dramatically - used to do 60 miles on bike at weekend. also why has he pain when he presses the 3 or 4 joints in his spine. Having read up I am concerned that he has developed chronic pain symptoms (ie the injury is long healed but the pain is still there). Although we are thankful that nothing worse showed up is it possible that the MRI could miss something (he actually felt not so sore on the day he got it, typical!!!) ![]() We were concerned re discs etc as he has symptoms which come and go like fatigue in his legs (like flu), pins and needles in hands and numbness in back. He went private for a MRI scan the results of which he got a week ago which just showed normal wear and tear. ![]() 5 months later he is still in so much pain that he is unsure if he can continue working (he is a lorry driver). He attended his GP initially, then a sports physio and finally a chiropracter all of whom said it was muscle strain/whiplash and would soon clear. ![]() Although he initially had no symptoms a week later his back was sore and since then he has been in pain ever since. I previously wrote a post about a month ago concerning my husband who injured his back/neck around Feb time doing a forward roll (so nothing too serious).
