Re: Upper abdominal pain radiating back

[Guest guest]

I am presuming you have tried chiropractic. In 20+ years of practice, I

have seen spinal adjustments alleviate some conditions that I would not

have expected. It's usually been secondary to back pain but more and

more people are seeking care for conditions that don't include the back

pain.

I would, of course, encourage you to work your way through Dr. 's

protocol. Because the docs are right, eventually something will show up

but then all you may be left with is the cut, burn, and poison regimen.

My best to you and if you have any other questions, please ask!

P.S. Your mentioning Mayo Clinic brings back memories of the journey

that took me to becoming a chiropractor. My husband went there numerous

times for debilitating low back pain (this was in the early 70's).

Finally, one of the docs (after all the others had left and he shut the

door) told him to " throw away the drugs and seek some other kind of

health care " . Then he said he would deny saying this if we chose to

tell anyone. Then he left!!!!! " Huh? " I said to my husband. I'd

never heard of chiropractic even though we lived in Iowa where the

Fountainhead of chiropractic(Palmer College of Chiropractic) is

located. And he said, he must mean chiropractic. Thus began the

classic story that so many tell through the years: we helped him limp

into the chiropractor's office and for the first time in 5 years, he

started getting better!!!!!! Thanks for the memories :-)

Upper abdominal pain radiating back

Hello,

I am new to this site and am looking for some sort of direction. I

am professional male 43 years of age and have been suffering from

excrutiating upper abdominal pain that radiates straight back and to

my lower abdomin. This began in March of 1999 and progressively

became much worse. I have been to several doctors including those at

the Mayo clinic. I have had in incredible number of tests performed

including upper/lower endoscopies,colonoscopies, bowel tests,

extensive heart and lung testing, ERCP's, numerous CT-Scans, x-rays,

blood, urine and fecal tests. All along the doctors have suspected

pancreatic cancer or some sort of pancreas disorder. Each test has

left them baffled because they cannot uncover a root cause. I am

seeing a pain medicatiuon specialist who has seen the hoorible pain

first hand. I am currently on pain medication, but even that simply

dulls the pain. On really bad days, it doesn't do much at all. They

keep telling me to continue with the CT-Scans every 6 months because

eventually something will show up. In the meantime, I have lost my

job as a professional, my finances are drying up and I really do not

know where to turn. Most of my days are spent laying down. This has

gotten to be a very, very, depressing state, especially for my

family. Has anyone experienced ANYTHING similar to this and what

course of action did you follow. Before I had this horrible onset of

constant pain, I was a very athletic, outgoing, active person.

Any ideas where to even begin.

Thank You,

C. Hill

Pain relief

You can use the acupuncture point on the left side of the forehead as you will

find a wee dent there just forward and up from the ear --if on the pulse move

away a bit. Use two fingers of the left hand and the two fingers of the right

hand on the site of the pain. If you cannot reach, get someone to put their left

hand fingers on your left side of the forehead and their right hand two fingers

on the pain.

Hold for twenty seconds it works!!!!

Alternatively use the Bowen move or NST in US --it is a forward and back

movement ---about three centimetres-- move the skin over the body of the

muscle, ligament or tendon and hold it a second or two then slide it back

and you should feel a pop. Works all over the body.

Use the bit between the finger and thumb which is the acupuncture point for

headache and if you have a migraine do it 20 times and repeat every five

minutes until you relax.
