Ok, am suffering something awful with thoracic bone spurs, and a tiny syrinx.
Doc's say the tiny syrinx could not be my problems. My symptoms are. Severe pain in shoulders elbows. My ankles hurt bad as well. I do have twitching under my arms at times. I suppose the worst is the severe tenderness, I dread taking a shower at times, it hurts so bad for the water to hit me. I also have trouble with frequent bathroom breaks, 1 & 2 Now starting to have eyesight trouble. Very hard to raise arms above my head. Hips sometimes hurt badly. Severe numbness in lap part of legs along with buttocks, and both arms along with little fingers on both hands. I have been depressed, and over that now, but my quality of life is near 30%. I have always been active, with flea marketing, yard sales, buying and resaleing. I am overweight, however its getting worse due to not able to exercise. I do take pain meds, only to find it helps for just a short while, my doc is a good one, and would up my meds, but I don't want to turn into a zombie. Am going for another MRI, I have also been through the entire run around. I have been tested for nearly everything, spinal taps, the whole nine yards. Would love to discuss this with some others. Thanks so much, as this is playing a role on my marriage, and everything else. Gary |
