With scans it often comes down to interpretation. Hopefully you will now get appropriate treatment/medications. All the best.
Strange things are spines. During autopsies pathologists have found individuals with multiple sites of injury/disease and yet no history of acute pain and the opposite can be true, too, individuals having been on high dose opiates proven to have few sites. Good luck with your claims, though money is going to make no difference to your pain levels it can go a little way to improving your quality of life.
Yes we certainly do all experience pain differently. I have a lot of pain going on and some days I'm good with managing and other days I want to just stay in bed. With my back though I remember being admitted to hospital after the 3rd accident and a trauma team checking me over when I first arrived at the ER... all but 2 vertebrae in my back hurt from base of skull down. I think it was somewhere in the middle that didn't hurt, the rest was very sore. My GP reckons I'm just not recovering well because I had the accidents all within 8 months and no time for my body to recover from the previous accident before I had the next one. The 3rd one was probably the worst out of them as I had myocardial contusion and pericardial effusion with that one plus wrote my car off. Fingers crossed this arthritis doesn't progress too quick and get too hard to manage.
Yes, unfortunately that diet didn't work too well for me. I'm eating what I can eat in moderation these days, as you can see I have a lot of different illnesses to please. I'm glad it's working for you though.The ray of hope there is that a lower carb lifestyle will go some way in aiding your recovery. I suffer with chronic pain (physio was good for me at first but after a few years it became less effective) but since being on LCHF there has definitely been no increase in pain levels and I experience fewer flare ups re inflammation. I hope this proves to be a similar experience for you.
Could you try a different physio? They are not all equally gifted. After years of fairly useless physio appointments I finally found a wonderful one who treats successful Olympians. Consulting her costs a small fortune, but it's worth it. When I think of the money I wasted over the years on physios who did me absolutely no good at all ...the doc wants me to continue with physiotherapy. The only thing is I've been having physio since 2016 after my car accidents (had 3 of them between Aug 2016 and Apr 2017) and I just seem to be getting worse rather than improving.
