Back pain v2

[Detector]

ive suffered with osteo arthritis for a few years now but about a month ago I had a massive seizure, I don't know what I did during the seizure but immediately after it, when I left the hospital later that day I could not hardly move, took me 15 mins to get to car. the pain in my back/muscles was intense.

over the last month this has eased off but now I have this constant ache like toothache in my back, when I lay down in certain positions (like putting a pillow under my back) all my muscles in the top half of my back really hurt. plus like I said ive got this constant ache there now all the time on top of the osteo arthritis.

has anyone else had a seizure and suffered a similar thing with their muscles? if so, how long was it before everything went back to normal and the ache disappeared. its now doing my fooking head in

I know someone who tried acupuncture for his arthritis and he swears by it.... not sure if its a regular thing he has done or just had a few sessions then that was it... can find out

I mentioned to you last time that I visited this guy - Golden Hands ,Medical Massage, Structural therapy. He and his type are not available on the NHS. I went to him after my doc told me

"here have some strong painkillers.....oh and your situation will only get worse"

(This was my gp to me). I was like a zombie and still in bloody pain. A friend came to visit me on an unrelated matter and saw the pain I was in and gave me this guys number - (My mate that gave me number manages local amature football team who all attend him when injured ect). I kid you not after 3 pretty painfull half hour sessions I was pain and drug free. He is obviously local to me but charges £25 for a half hour session.
What I would advise is that you check your local yell.com or even local paper or whatever and find someone who does

Medical Massage, Structural therapy

. You may just find that it works for you or at the very least eases the pain you are in. He is NOT a chiropractor ....the service he and people like him do is completely different from what a chiropractor does. I have personally been pain free (It was a trapped sciatic nerve btw) for over 5 years now. The guy I mentioned advertises on the yell.com website...but he is up in north lanarkshire in scotland.....like i said try and find one near you and you may find it is what you need. Good luck mate.

Thats good info DavidF.. I had sciatica for about 4 or 5 years and its a bastard to deal with... walk for 15 minutes brings it on 100%

Missus had a full on eclamptic fits. With the muscle going in different directions, she broke both her shoulders. So it really depends how hard the muscle worked at the time to the extent of the damage I'm afraid.

Hmmm...like bigted said, the intense muscle activity can cause dislocations and fractures, although that would be unusual in your back. If you've got bad osteoarthritis, you might have done a disc or possibly fractured. Either way, probably best see your doctor and get it checked, cuz back pain is a bitch to sort once it gets established...
