Hi I'm new to the forum. I was encouraged by my Pain Psychologist to 'seek out' those like me
I was diagnosed with DISH in 2007 and with OPLL in 2008. In 2009, I became paralyzed and had T6-T7 fused with no promise of complete recovery. I had some feeling in left leg but none in right. Through aggressive PT I did learn to walk eventually and regain other bodily functions. While learning to walk I fell countless times but after one terrible fall I had to get C3-T1 fused in 2011. I had to relearn to walk and had PT and OT services. My wound became infected and I spent much time in the hospital and home health care.
I'd like to say I'm better and doing well but I don't lie. I'm living one day at a time and would like to get to know and learn from other people who have OPLL.
