Dear Dee, I have the same as you with osteoperosis as well and curving spine, a bad right leg and foot. can't feel middle toes, and if I stand sit or walk too long the pain is so great it is beyond a 10. Do you think the doc would listen? Hell no! No fusions and the reflexes in my rt leg are not there as well as my left arm. They all look at me as well, let me see, a hypochondriac. I have a ortho doc who believes in me. She said if she hadn't seen it for herself on the mri she would have said I was making it up. Now when I go in she listens when I tell her things. It is the neuro docs who won't. So I am having some difficulty there. Thats all I know for now. KIM
