I have a tumor at s2. My pain is always an 8 but goes to 10. Doctors are being dismissive about this tumor causing my problems saying it doesn’t make a person hurt. I have constant burning pain, that eagles me up every two hours. I cannot walk or stand. Cannot hardly sit or lay down. Please help me. It hurts to ride in s car but I will if I can get help.
Hello, my mom has been sick for over 10years now. She has not been diagnosed with anything . Most of her test results come back fine yet she is extremely sick she can’t do any of the things she used to be able to do. She is always dizzy she feels like her body is on fire she has been in the hospital numerous times because she has tachycardia and it gets uncontrolled when she feels ill. They send her home still sick and without any answer please help my mother live a normal life again. Thank you for your time.
