Hi everyone, I am new here.. I wanted to introduce myself and give you some info on my health.. I am from Louisiana, I am married and have 2 boys ages 19 and 6..(yes..I know..what was I thinking??) I have been having neck/back pain, not unbearable but there. Then one morning I woke up and thought that I must have slept wrong b/c my neck was killing me and my left side was numb.. Well that was just the start of it.. I had been having carpel tunnel issues (severe pain in right hand) So starting seeing a Dr that specializes in Sports Medicine, she also has done some Osteo Modification Therapy on me (which worked only for short periods for me) After a few rounds of steroids by mouth and me going back to her over and over still in pain, She referred me to go get a nerve conduction test, so I did. The dr. there kept asking me if I had diabeties, but I told him No just the opposite, I have a problems with my sugar dropping and making me feel HORRIBLE! He responds by saying that it was weird b/c I have Severe Neuropathy on both sides and more severe on the left side and also I have carpel tunnel on both sides. So I see my Dr. again and she sends me for Xray and blood work.. She calls the next day and says she wants me to do MRI b/c she didnt like what she saw in Xray.. I'm thinking huh??? So I put it off for a week or two and she calls me and says, Please go do it.. So I go.. the next day she calls and tells me I have disc issues and also told me to get copies of MRI report and she made appt with Sports Medicine Surgeon for Carpel Tunnel surgery. So I do that, had CT surgery and got instant relief! I am going on 5 weeks post op and although its still very tender, its alot better than the pain I had before!! I will post MRI report on another but the Impression is Multilevel aquired degenerative spinal stenosis.
