Wow, Franknberrie, you've really been through it. I've actually had my trauma from my car accident as well as my compression fractures right in the T-6 through T-9 area. Not only do I feel and know that my back never decompresses taking the load off of some of the nerves naturally, but in the car wreck I had the seat handle pushing in my back for over an hour plus right in the same thoracic area. So when the pain came back and comes back it always felt like I had the seat handle in my back again, but now since it's become chronic I can't tell it's the seat handle anymore because the referred pain is so brutal between T6-T8 and 9 just right of that area as well as to the left of my right shoulder blade.
I'm glad we both posted our stories too. You definitely have it a little bit rougher then myself it seems with pain/disc degeneration. I just wish there was some sort of surgical procedure I could do to have this fixed and get on with my life. I'm more freaked out over having the RSD go into my right arm more particularily my wrist/into the hand because my major in college is animation/illustration. I'm taking gen. education courses at a community college until I build up enough to transfer to a 4 year college I've got picked out that is one of a kind with this program without being an art academy, or a for profit school. Going from drawing almost daily 2 months ago to barely being able to take notes/do homework and type is frustrating.
Anyway, as when everyone says "oh my god you poor thing" when I tell them about my situation and pain, I always remark with "well everyone has go their own hell and their own problems." We've just got them a little more "in your face" and direct I guess...
Take care yourself! I look forward to hearing more about anything you do as well as what works for you and everyone else too. Great to chat with you and everyone else about these epidurals! I don't think they are all bad, but I walked in thinking it would be "the cure" and now after 2 of them and alot of pain later, I'm much more skeptical of everything....
Have a great day to everyone that reads this!
