Hi
My partner has been in a lot of pain with his back for about 2 months. The pain seems to start at base of spine and goes up muscle either side of spine. He is in so much pain and has to come home from work early etc. When the pain gets very bad it makes him physically sick. He has been to docs twice and is now awaiting blood test results and x ray. They want to rule out ankylosing spondylitis.
I am at a loss what to do while waiting for results, the pain relief from the docs seem to be doing nothing and he won't let me massage him as it hurts too much. Any advice would be gratefully received. I feel helpless when he is hurting so much!!
Love and sparkles xx
I would try something light touch - like Emmett technique or Bowen - which is usually not painful to receive. PM me if you want further information.
Cheers

Vommiting is a fairly common symptom for acute and chronic spinal pain sufferers,
especially if he also suffers from neck and head pains? Similar to migrane?
The important thing now, is for you both to understand his condition. Try researching his symptoms through a process and elimination, using these sites to start;
www.spineuniverse.com
www.doctorfoster.com
Using these, I successfully diagnosed my own condition after the Doctors misdiagnosed me for 3 years!
Best wishes to you and your husband.

Thank you SPINELF will check out those sites and see what I can find! You feel so helpless with the Docs as you seem to be getting nowhere!!!! Will update you with what we find.
Thanks welshtherapist, a friend performs bowen technique so will give them a ring.
