I came across this site while I was doing some reading about back spurs. I go see my GP tomorrow and wanted to ask her about specific tests that could be done.

I have a few things going on. I have bilateral carpal tunnel that runs from my fingertips to my shoulders. Spurs from T5-T10. Herniated L4-L5 disc. Bilateral knee pain. Had an arthroscopy done on my left, cleared out scar tissue. I am a carrier for Hemochromatosis, my dad is a carrier, but also affected by it. So far my levels are good. My son was also diagnosed as a carrier. I have fatty liver, Bipolar II, IBS, GERD, Bile Reflux, Vit D deficient, Allergies(allergic to everything but my dog).

I'm on quite a few medications, right now my pain doctor is trying to switch to longer acting. I have been on Oxycodone for about 2 years now. Fentanyl patch is my next one to try. I was on Morphine which I had some side effects with, and we decided that one wasn't for me. The patch is just a trial, he said if it works, thats great, if not then the next step is Opana.

Glad I found this site, and I'm looking forward to chatting with everyone.
