Default New person here with lots of questions

Hello:

I have lots of symtoms, diagnoses and most importantly, lots of questions.

Background: I have 2 cervical fusions at c5-6/c6-7, anterior and posterior. Since Dec 09, I have had 3 EMGs/NCS. They all show the same thing: Carpal Tunnel in both wrists/hands, Ulnar Neurophy in both arms, and peripheral neuropathy in both legs. I have a hard time holding on to anything I twitch so hard at times, my legs go out from under me. Last time it happened, I hit my head a couple of times before I got smart and stayed on the floor. I gave myself a head injury and a seizure disorder to boot!

I take much meds for my neck injury ie Norco and neurotin, or else I fear the symtoms from the above issues would be much more bothersome.

I am just now getting treatment due to many Workers' Comp delays.

As I do much reading on these issues, I can't help but wonder if there is something that is causing all these issues.

Right now the Neurologist I am seeing is treating each diagnosis as separate issues and the Pain Management Dr. is drugging the heck out of me so I don't notice the symtoms without actually treating them.

Yet when I look at possible causes, I cross off 90% right away as I have had 4 thorough blood tests in the past 5 months.

Any thoughts are extremely welcome
