Nerve Pain
in the Neck and
Shoulder Area
 Marc
Darrow, M.D.
Question: I have a question that
deals with
nerve pain, a situation that I have been personally
dealing with for the last four years. I have it mainly in the jaw,
neck, and shoulder area on the right side and my question is;
I know that there is an inflammatory situation effecting the nerves,
I have tried many different things. What else can I do?
Dr. Darrow: Your symptoms described
makes it sound like
Barre-Lieou syndrome, a very strange complex of things that is
related to nerve pain, but it comes from, not nerve pain, but a
de-stabilization of the
vertebrae in the neck. The
first thing we need to do is get your
neck stabilized.
Question: I have had an
MRI of the neck that didn't show anything.
Dr. Darrow: No,
an MRI would not show instability and will not show what we are
looking for.
Question: Is there anyway to get a
diagnostic of the nerves?
Dr. Darrow: There are tests that are
like MRIs on nerves but my guess is that
you sound like you have been to a lot of doctors.
If you have and they haven't found a
herniation in the neck
then the chances are that this is
ligament laxity
which can be stabilized.
Question: In my understanding, there
can be viruses, bacterial, fungi
and other things that can cause
Inflammation,
do you have any way of working with that aspect?
Dr. Darrow: Absolutely, but
it's the last thing that we are looking
for and I'll tell you why. Everyone in the planet
has bacteria and viruses in them, we can't live without them they
can't live without us.
So if someone comes in and has Epstein-Barr or Lyme Disease, we ask,
is that what is causing the pain problem? Usually not because almost
everyone that I have checked has Lyme Disease (or Epstein-Barr) in
their system.
I would rather find the mechanical problem and fix that and then get
to the issues of bacteria and viruses.
If it is a bacterial viral issue, we do get the immune system
bolstered up, we do a big panel of blood labs, the number one thing
that we like to do is get the GI system cleaned up so there is no
Leaky Gut Syndrome so that big proteins are not being leaked out of
the stomach into the blood system that can cause inflammation.
We like people to be on an
anti-inflammatory diet we like to have their pH in the alkaline
level, all of these things, if it is a bacterial or viral cause can
help kill them off.
