Hi Mairi
I had a L5-S1 fusion Sept. 2013. Lately I have been having a lot of issues with what seems to be back and abdominal muscle weakness. Doing a few hours of "normal" activity (not exercise) makes these muscles feel like I've done a huge workout. Also having tightness in my neck and shoulder issues. I've seen my regular neuro and an orthopedic specialist, and no one is in any hurry to repeat MRI's. They've sent me to PT, so still doing that. And started going to a chiro, who says based on my cervical spine CT in 2011 I do have issues C5-C6 down.
What antibodies do you have for the neuropathy? I've got axonal sensory in both legs (motor some too on the left.)
Hope to hear from you!
