Title: Who here has chronic pain besides having CH?
Post by Carl_D on Nov 22nd, 2003, 1:19pm
Just a question that has roused my curiosity.
I suffer from chronic clusterf**ks, CPH, and for the last few years, a constant neverending ache in the back of my head. Some days it is light, and other days it is so intense, it feels like the back of my head is gonna blow off. When I bend over for any reason at all, it is like getting whacked upside my head with a baseball bat, or a nice bootkick to the back of the head.
There is nothing more cursed than to be a musician with chronic headaches. What's worse is, I play headbanger music. Pretty ironic huh?

Due to five buldging discs in my lower back (L-1 thru 5) I get to have this groovy pain, a little thing called sciatica. at times its like white hot lightening shooting down the nerves in my leg...sometimes I even hit the floor.....LOL

Being one that HAS to pace when the beast comes this becomes a real problem when the sciatica is going too, ive learn to crawl with the best of'em ;;D

And people wonder why I drink.....LMMFAO ;;D

Jonny,

That pain is really quite fun, isn't it?  I get that a couple times a year.  Last year, it hit me as I was putting a massive salmon filet under the broiler.  It was sad watching it turn to charcol as I lay there immobilized on the floor.

Jonny, i know what ya mean with the back probs.  I have pain everyday from it as well.....

Carl,  have you ever had your spinal fluid pressure checked?  I have to get a spinal tap ever so often to relieve the pressure that has built up.  Your situation with the bending over and and the back of the head pain, sounds consistant with that problem.  Ask your neuro about it.

Mikey,  ;;D

jonny, it is time to go under the knife!
I have that same pain, L4-5, daily, but the sciatica only flares up every now and then.

Fix your bulges, dude!! [smiley=laugh.gif]

I now have my second herniated disc in my lower back...it seems the disc below the one I had "surgically repaired" 7 years ago has now blown out.
Apparently it's a common thing for the disc right above and below a surgically repaired one to eventually blow out BUT nobody told me that before I had the surgery.
During the surgery they had to cut on the sciatic nerve to get it away from the disc and that has resulted in sciatca/nerve damage in my left leg that pretty much fucks with me 24/7/365.
Two neuros and an ortho have recomended surgery for my latest problem but I'm going to think long and hard before going down that road again.
just say no to the knife!

I have 2 degenerating disks in my lower back.  My movement is limited 20% according to the rating that they did.  The Ortho I went to said he wouldnot touch my back at this time. "When" they rupture then he will work with me.  I perfer for that WHEN to never happen, but I'm sure that it will at some time.  Tried trigger point and epideral treatments for a while, but it really does nt help, just masks it.  The sciatica with me does not act up as much as it used to, but still hits about 1 a week or so.  When it hits I pray that there is a desk or something close that I can lean on cause if  not them I hit the ground pretty damn hard.  

I also have rhumediod arthritis.  At this time it is pretty much limited to my hands and knees, but when that acts up, then I am in really bad shape.  Part of why we moved to Las Vegas so that it would nt be so constant.

Guess for 32 I'm pretty much falling apart.  [smiley=frown.gif]  Oh well.  Keeps life entertaining

is it our age or a possible link with clusters?
I also have had lower back problems for the last 8 years...
Not all the time and It is not chronic ( at least not yet)
But the doctors have said it is sciatic nerve being pinched. and you know what!  I just realized it comes after my ch dissappear for a while ?????
anyone else?

Grumpett - I have the LBP also.  While I am in a cycle my LB hurts like hell.  I have had to problem for along time, but it just now occurred to me that it is so much worse during a cycle.  Of course, I don't sleep during a cycle and that never helps back pain.  So hmmmmmmm?
