Reviews On Treatments For Damaged Spinal Cord Discs, Sprains & Calcifications In Shoulder Joint

For damaged/bulging/compressed/slipped spinal cord discs, calcification: indicative of physical trauma in my right shoulder joint, and sprains, I found that the following treatments were helpful:

1.  Lidocaine injections which numb the areas affected, by prescription, administered by a physician.

2.  The prescription drug, Gabapentin, which has to be titrated/gradually dosed to the level that's best for the individual patient. It's a non-addictive, anti-epileptic medication, but can be effective for long-term, spinal cord disc pain.

3.  Physical therapy is quite effective, but can also be more painful. I used Aleve, over-the-counter, right before my physical therapy sessions, and that did help also.

4.  Meditation, with breathing exercises from Pema Chodron's books were also excellent for staying positive and relieving stress.

5. Antidepressants can sometimes help with damaged/bulging/compressed/slipped spinal cord disc pain, calcification: indicative of physical trauma in my right shoulder joint and sprains.

6. I found out that it can be permanently painful: the broken glass pain between my left rib bones, both sprained knees, my sprained right ankle, the concussion: short- and long-term effects, my whiplashed neck, the damaged, bulging, compressed and slipped discs in my spinal cord, my eye's tear duct, my sprained wrists, fingers, and my right hip joint too. Even now, sometimes I need to elevate, rest and ice the stiff, swelling or painful areas if I do too much, physically. Artificial tears eye drops also helps me too.

7. Epsom salt baths and heat wraps have been useful for the sprained joint stiffness and pain also.

8. Therapeutic massage by a physical therapist who specializes in whiplash and slipped spinal cord discs was also beneficial.

9. Resting is very important, especially post-concussion.
