I had police records of spouse tossing me about like a ragdoll, but PCP just ordered MRIs for a definite dx after I told him of the horrible pain.
When the injuries occurred, I didn't feel the 'real bad' pain right away, .. ya' know just sore a few days.
As aged, those injuries became more prominent, and left untreated, nerve rubbing against bone, pretty soon more damage done, and then it hit me hard approx 10yrs later. I recall when just wore warm wraps around my neck and took Excedrin. Forgive me if sharing this may scare you; may not happen w/ you. Also docs may be withholding re: your age, possibility pain temporary, or thinking 'let's wait until it gets worse .. he's young, strong, too early to start narcotics'.
I had no idea it would help anxiety until I first took one (duh), and don't think my psych dx was GAD then.
Darovocet became ineffective. Morphine yuch! I think Vicodin should be provided for break-though. Regimen w/ break-through is continue reg med as prescribed and another on top of it until it subsides.
So good to hear that the paradox can come and go; believe that's what you meant. I was hoping so, ... like break-through pain! Too bad my doc didn't help me or at least tell me this.
Your post was good and I printed it. I will look at again tomorrow sometime for reference and 'get back to ya' if I've missed something.
Some heart meds can lessen anxiety greatly also.
Tks for taking time and thought to help me.
bestwishes, cf
