Extreme upper, middle back pain, with neck pain...

I think that is unusual for him to not have prescribed you any medication but I think if you continue having the same problems I would ask your physician about going to another doctor but I would have thought that if there were any major problems the neurologist's test would have shown something but I would go back to your doctor and have him refer you to someone else.

You have mentioned that you have mild neurofibromatosis, I have giving you some more information on that: Under this heading are grouped two distinct hereditary disorders, formerly labeled peripheral and central neurofibromatosis, but now entitled neurofibromatosis type 1 and type 2. Type 1 (peripheral) neurofibromatosis, [MIM*162200] by far the most common of the two types, is characterized clinically by the combination of patches of hyperpigmentation and cutaneous and subcutaneous tumors. The hyperpigmented skin areas, present from birth and found anywhere on the body surface, can vary markedly in size and color—the dark brown ones are called café-au-lait spots. The multiple cutaneous and subcutaneous tumors, nerve sheath neoplasms, called neurofibromas, can develop anywhere along the peripheral nerve fibers, from the roots distally. Neurofibromas can become quite large, causing a major disfigurement, eroding bone, and compressing various peripheral nerve structures; a small hamartoma (Lisch nodule) can be found in the iris of almost all patients. Type 1 neurofibromatosis, also called von Recklinghausen disease, has autosomal dominant inheritance, with the gene locus on chromosome 17q11, and is caused by mutation in the NF1 gene that encodes neurofibromin. Type 2 (central) neurofibromatosis [MIM*101000] has few cutaneous manifestations, and consists primarily of bilateral (less often, unilateral) acoustic neuromas, causing deafness, often accompanied by other intracranial and paraspinal neoplasms, such as meningiomas and gliomas. Type 2 neurofibromatosis also has autosomal dominant inheritance, but the gene locus is on 22q11, caused by mutation in the NF2 gene encoding the product merlin.

Have you tried a chiropractor? They specialize in back pain. I would normally suggest a low-impact chiropractor because there is very little risk with low-impact chiropractors but if your pain is extreme you may require high-impact chiropractic work. Look for chiropractors in your area and ask others who have tried them. High-impact chiropractic work poses some risk but if you are in a lot of pain it may be worth it.
