I was in a car accident about a month ago where i was rear ended at a stop light by a speeding SUV. To make matters worse, this is the third accident in the last 14 months. I have 3 cervical disc bulges,1 cervical disc herniation, 1 thoracic disc herniation contacting the thoracic cord, and 4 lumbar disc herniations with one making contact with the S1 nerve roots. This most recent accident has me completely out of work. In addition to severe pain, i ve been having memory loss, confusion, occasional stuttering and I haven t had much of an appitite. When I do try to eat I hurt extremely bad throughout my adominal region (as if i ve over eaten) after a few bits. i ve already lost 10 pounds and 1.5 dress sizes. I am treating with a Chiro 4 days a week, I ve had a cervical and lumbar epidural, and will be meeting with an Ortho in the next couple of weeks. It seem like everyone is working on addressing my pain issuse, but seem to be neglecting everything else. Please advise what you think my non-pain related sysptoms may be. Thanks
Hai.looks like your into post-traumatic stress that too with such major problems. The problems what u have mentioned can be due to new intracerebral changes affecting the motor areas of the brain especially the speech, appetite,memory area please meet your neurologist to go ahead for a ct brain or MRI brain to rule out any cause you have more likely chance of suffering from a small stroke in these areas, due to your be Chat Doctor. Good luck
