Ok I just need to see if anyone has gone through this. I went to bed last Wednesday night fine, when I woke up I could not move, my upper back & neck are throbbing & stiff & feeling much pain. On the flip side when this happened my bladder, which has been hanging at a 6-7 pain wise has been absolutely fantastic the last 7 days. I went for an X-ray. It showed nothing. Of corse they gave me muscle relaxers & pain pills!!!! I have no intention of taking them but I can't figure out what this is???
It haven't lessened a bit & it's been 7 days. My mind is going crazy thinking horrible things. Any ideas?..
Matia isn't sure either

Oh I am so sorry- you must be
Oh I am so sorry- you must be freaking out. I did have severe muscle stuff liek you are describing but it did lessen unless I tried to exercise. I could walk and move but not turn my head or dance or anything so I don't htink I was as severe. Like I said before I still have pain although very manageable in my neck and upper back especially if I put my head to my chest or try to turn quickly (as in dancing) Dr B feels mine is lymph getting "stuck"
Maybe ask her if you could try Cranial Sacral Therapy for this. it is very gentle. It is a relief that the x-ray showed nothing even though I am sure you w ish you could get an answer! I had severe back pain that I now believe was detox related 5 yrs ago when I started doing A LOT of yoga. I also had an x-ray and it showed nothing. Time was the remedy.
I am crossing my figers thta this is a BIG die-off- the fact that your baldder feels good is such a good sign i think!
It is very scary when matia isn't sure. i am praying for you.
TRY not to catastrophize- this will pass- I know the fear but TRY to stay on this moment only. Every worst part of this has eventually passed for me. ((((((((((((hug))))))))))))))))))
Hi Amy,
Hi Amy,
So sorry you are going through this :( I don't get exactly what you have but I do get that kind of pain in my hip and leg. It will hurt so much that I can barely walk or lift my leg up to put on a shoe. It has lasted a long time...then will come back...then wax and wane...then go away...then be back. It's all so weird!
I read that as stuff moves out of the bladder it likes to move into the joints and muscles. Did Matia say it was die-off?
Sorry I don't have any suggestions. I know it's horrible but hang in there! Hugs!

Amybarbabra- How are you? I
Amybarbabra- How are you? I hope there has been some lessening. I am sure you have thought of this but are you using a heating pad? Here's a crazy thing- Last summer I used to lay down in plastic slides at the playground that had been heated up in the sun. That was very soothing to my muscles. Only works if you go with someone else so they can follow your kids around!
Hi Deir
Hi Deir
pretty awful still....no relief yet day 9 & my bladder is starting to act up after 7 days of bliss:((( I wrote to Dr B this morning & am waiting to hear back. It just doesn't make any sense? I'm trying very hard to stay positive. I was feeling better so I sent out invites to my daughters second birthday to 75 people!!!!!!! Not sure how I'm going to pull this off next weekend . Thank you so much for asking I know you understand having 3 kids yourself. Sometimes I wonder which is more difficult & then they make me laugh & I remember how hard I need to fight. I don't see an end to this pain right now. I have been using heat & ice & while it helps when I'm using it it never lasts long. Sleeping is next to impossible so I'm waiting to see what she says & if she can help.
How are you feeling? Your in my prayers...along with everyone else:)))))

Hi Amy
Hi Amy
I am thinking of you. Are you also drinking a ton of water? Maybe 2-3 glasses more than you normally drink? If it is lymph I am hoping that will help. I have had some back pain, knee pain and hip pain. Are you taking probiotics right now? If so can you ask if you can back off them a bit? (Especially if on bif?) Just a thought. I know Dr. B is doing all she can....

Hi Mimi
Hi Mimi
i feel like all I am doing is drinking water & of course going to the bathroom! I have been taking 1/2 mega & 4 RP sice the 9th & that is what brought my pain down to a 1-2:)))) I'm terrified to change anything now but she just wrote me back & said to add in 1/2 goldenseal then a whole one if it helps & if not add in 1/4 bifido????????? I'm scared. I don't think I could handle this back/ neck along with high bladder pain.

Hi Amy,
Hi Amy,
I am not dr.B patitent (because I am focused now un other things worse than IC), but I am an suffering expert for having suffered, almost, every kind of physical pain that exists ejje (what a lucky girl!).
When I didn't know that I had cancer I had lots of back pain. Somtimes I couldn't sleep at nights because I felt like someone wher cutting my back with a destral.
The I went to the doctor and they discovered my cancer. But back pain didn't stopped. And rhe cancer was the cause of that pain???? NOOO!!
The cause was a pulmonar infeccion!! I passed 2 months screaming all the night for that pain! and the doctors, doesen't belive me because of my youth ( It has happend to me so ofthen, now they belive me everything I said) only gave me enanthium and ibuprofen for 2 months and I was dying!! I couldn't even walk.
Late when the disecovered the infeccion they gave me Augmentine 1000mg and morphine for a month, and not only my back pain stopped drastically my IC went to alsolute remission for 4 months. And now even with the chemo I am better with no meddication for it besides one herbs the I was before cancer. So, I belived back pain and low infeccion could be the cause of a lot of the IC, and if you are eliminating bacteries you have the answear. Kisses
Sorry it's not pulmonar
Sorry it's not pulmonar infeccion, is infeccion of the lungs ( it causes back and neck pain) I don't want to scare you but you have to chek it.
Kisses
nur- your IC is probably
nur- your IC is probably caused by enterococus and therefore got better by taking the augmentin. :)
Hi Amy, I just had an episode
Hi Amy, I just had an episode of back pain, first time in my life. She told me to add 1 goldenseal, and I did. I also changed chair that I used temporarily to work on computer. One of those helped. I still have some stiffness but I am moving around. I hope you will find remedy soon.
Nur, AmyBarbara already had x
Nur, AmyBarbara already had x-rays. Would that detect something if it was there?
If the infeccion is low, X
If the infeccion is low, X-ray didn't detected it. It took for me 3 X-ray when I was super bad to be detected. And they where not sure. They made the diagnosis for a blood exam and for my sympthoms more than by X-ray. They try to do a mucus exam but they couldn't because I didn't have any.
But don't be scared, it is easly cured. And for sure it is not your case, in your case it is more probable that it is something more simple like a muscle contracture due to stress and bad positions.
But I gave you my advice because I don't want anybody to suffer. And if my experience can help aother people I will give help.
Kisses!!!!!!
Amy, (hugs) I am afraid of
Amy, (hugs) I am afraid of protocol changes when I am already uncomfortable too! Try to trust the small amounts of things will give you what your body needs to clear this!! Keep us posted!
