I have had 3 vertebral subluxations from an accident in 2001. I am wondering if the pain I have experiencing more and more is considered chronic or not. I have not had any help with it for years and it seems it s getting worse. I don t want to take pain pills for it either
Hello ! I understand your concern! If I were your doctor I would recommend a new column MRI to find out if the subluxations are at the same point or have revoluted. Holding a brace would be very helpful. Postural education, physiotherapy, avoiding sitting positions for a long time, or holding heavy things would also be helpful. I would also recommend Amitriptyline, an antidepressant Chat Doctor.  You must be careful if starting this therapy to have a cardio logic consultation as it has heart side effects. Another choice of therapy would be Gabapentin or Pregabalin, two antiepilepsy
