Wendy's Upper Back PainI had been working a temporary job in a warehouse where i was loading and unloading heavy pallets of motorcycle parts, such as pistons and engine parts. i worked so hard to get the job because my family is so involved with them and i was thinking about discounts if i had gotten the job. a week into ,i was unloading a large pallet and i am a female trying to work like a male and keep up with the boys. at lunch i was having some real neck and arm pain. i called my bro and he told me to take 3 advil and a vitamin and eat lunch and it might help.Well, next day i couldn't hardly pick up a coffee cup called work and went to hospital. i thought it was mt shoulder cause that's where most of my pain was, but as going to docs 4 -3 months, nothing they did 4 me helped and finally got mri on my neck and had 3 herniated discs and arthritis in neck. doc said not a work comp injury. so 2 yrs later after denying me everything including change of docs, i just kept ending up in er rooms with docs thinking i'm crazy and want pain meds. finally an er doc sent me to a spine doc and i had 2 discs that were ready to paralyze me pushing so hard on my spinal cord. I had to have emergency surgery/ had c4- c6 fused, a month later i got rear ended by a large suv. i was in my small suv at a stop light. i now have levoscoliosis an disc desiccation , 3 minor disc bulges and minor disc disease. no central canal stenosis or neural stenosis but is it going to turn out like my neck? all this is in my thoracic spine. i know this doesn't happen too often in this part of your back. i just need to know do i just have a disc disease or is it from the car accident and i did get a lawyer cause i'm just not sure what to do. he is working on my work comp case and car accident. don't know what to do, do u have any suggestions??? i'm in awful pain an physical therapy can only seem to ice my back cause i'm so swollen and says there looks to be a large muscle that retains fluid on my spine but no notation on mri. but i do have a hemangioma on the t5 vertebral body - Wendy
