I am a 34 male who is not diabetic. I was diagnose with Nueropathy due to a GSW in January, 2011. I have had an MRI done. and the results states and I quote.

Findings :

" Cervical spine : There is preservation of the normal cervical lordosis. The vertebral bodies are normal in height and signal intensity. There are no destructive lytic or blastic osseous lesions. Mild desiccation in seen at all levels of the cervical spine. The visualized posterior fossa structures are unremarkable. The spinla cord is normal in caliber and signal intensity."

Thoracic spine : Heterogeneous T1/T2 hyperintense signal seen in the posterior elements of T10 vertebra, likely corresponding to comminuted fractures seen in prior CT.

"There is focal, irreguular and linear T1 hypointense and T2 hyperintense signal along the dorsal aspect of spinal cord at the level of T10 vertebra, compatible with myelomalcia. There is preservation of the normal thoracic alignment. The vertebral bodies are normal in height and signal intensity. Mild disc desiccation is seen in the upper thoracic spine without significant loss of disc height."

" Lumbar spine: There is preservation of the normal lumbar lordosis. Tje vertebral bodies are normal in height signal intensity. There are no destructive lytic or blastic osseous lesions. The intravertebral disc space heights are well-preserved. The conus medullaris terminates at the level of T12 vertebra. "

Basically I have pain from my waist down to my feet both legs. I can move my legs, move my toes a little bit. I have been given bracelets to help stand and with it I can walk, but the pain is too much. I'm living I feel like my slipping away more and more.

Will Cortizone help my muscles so I can walk again. An injection maybe in the knees.
Each time I try and stand my knees buckle
