It is called arachnoiditsis, nerve pain, no cure, came from fusion surgery in 06 when NS cut into my spinal cord twice and my spinal fluid filled with blood. I had to lie flat on my back for 5 days, was in hospital for 12 days instead of normal 4-6. The nerves that are supposed to dangle below my tailbone are now balled up forever in a clump and there is nothing they can do. I am fighting for a pain pump and will never stop since that is only thing I hear that gives others like me any quality of life! I am waiting on disability since may of 06, was told my aJL hearing may be another 18-24 months, was denied twice already. I had to begin self cathing Prn this year and I see colon surgery in my future...hope I can afford it! The numbness is here there and everywhere, it travels as well as the pain, although it never leaves my back and left leg, left arm is losing some functioning. Other then that I am just fine!!
Sorry all,
I am in terrible mood, another fight with loving son!
