Chat Good Morning All - Newbie here!!
Good Morning all

I'm new to the forum and looking forward to getting to know everyone here.

little medical info about me: i am awaiting an appointment to see a Neurosurgeon on Sept 18. i have a bulged disc, a herniated disc and 2 nerve compressions in my neck - one of the left and one on the right, issues affect all areas between c2- and c7. i also have spinal canal compression as a result and reversal of the cervical lordorsis. Some moderate spondylytic barring as well. (excuse my spelling, I'm recalling from memory rather than the actual report.

in my thoracic and lumbar spine i have moderate osteoarthritis.

Needless to say i have some nerve issues going on and am on gabapentin/neurontin at least until i see the neurosurgeon. I am hoping he will have some effective pain management ideas.

I'm hoping that in the meantime i can gain some useful info from you all.

Have a great day!!!
Rosie

Hi Rayslove, welcome to NT! It's nice to meet you, I just wish it was under better circumstances.

Here is a link to the Spinal Disorders forum: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forumdisplay.php?f=22

I'm sure you'll find the folks in there to be real helpful. There'll be lots of useful info, as well as tons of compassion from people who know exactly what you are going through.

Hi Rosie. Welcome to NeuroTalk. You'll find everyone here very caring and supportive.

I'm sorry to hear about your problems. I have cervical and lumbar problems as well. I've had 2 injections in the cervical part as high as they can safely go. They are THE most painful injections I've ever had, but they really helped. I'm afraid I may have to go back for another. Getting constant electrical zap down the left side and my left hand starts to go numb.

Fun, huh? I also used to get tons of epidurals for the lumbar. But a new pain doc decided to try SI's instead (sacroiliac injections). Those finally started to relieve the pain. I have bilateral injections set up for the 24th. Owie.

I hope they find the right solutions for you. That pain is just not fun!

The Spinal Disorder forum is packed with great people!

Hi Rosie and Welcome! I love your name. It was my Mom's nickname. Her formal name was Rosalyn.

So sorry about all your pain and hope the surgeon can give you some relief.

Look forward to hearing more from you.

Did I mention that I LOVE your name, Rosie?? Welcome again!
