I still experience a lot of spinal pain as well as peripheral neuropathy but one thing I know for sure is to do my best to keep moving and doing some light household tasks. Several time a day, I do need to sit in a comfortable with arms so as not to put too much pressure on my spine as well elevated. Lidocaine patches (prescription only) are very helpful for the spinal pain.
Have you had any Ct scans or MRI's?

Yeah I hav had 3 mri scans and a 14hr op. The Nero sergons said to me they had not ever seen what had happened to me and one even came up from London to take part in it. It was a huge mass of cysts , draining them left more damage to the tethering.
Yep I do a little of things everyday to help with pain. I can't just lay there I hav to always move about a little coz longer in one position the more the pain creeps up higher.
