If we could get the rest of the world to care about each other the way we do here on NT, I believe the worlds problems would be solved. ginnie
Ditto, ditto, ditto! The way this country/the system/some families treat the elderly is shameful!

Default Re: sticky?
Went to the New posts page, where thoughtwas the place to go to start new threads. I didn't see anything on the left side of the page that said sticky, nor above it new posts. MrsD sent the address, but I don't know how to cut and paste that address eithor. This PC stuff gets me utterly confused. I never used a PC before coming to NT. What should I go to for my opening screen to see this "sticky" sorry to am not that great on the PC, I truely am trying to learn. ginnie

Ginnie,

Maybe I misunderstood your question. I thought that you wanted to post a new thread to this forum, Spinal Disorders & Back Pain, in which case, the New Thread button is on the left side above the Sticky Threads.

I've never used the New Posts feature - hold on....

Ok, that New Posts page lists all the new posts in ALL of the forums since the last time you logged on (or read posts - I'm not sure). That page is not a Forum Page, so there is no New Thread button on it, nor on the NeuroTalk Support Groups (Home) page. You can always get back to the NeuroTalk Support Groups page from anyplace - the link is at the top of every page right under where it says NeuroTalk at the very top.

To post a new thread, you must be on one of the Forum Pages (to post the new thread to that forum), accessed via the NeuroTalk Support Groups page OR if you're on that New Posts page, click on the forum you wish to post the new thread to on the righthand side of that page, then look for the New Thread button on the left side of the Forum Page above the Sticky Thread titles (if the forum has any - most do).

I hope this is clearer; hang in there - we'll get you there!

Doc

Default Thank you doc
I will keep your entire post for reference. It did make it easier to understand some of the issues I have with navagation. I drive my son nuts, as I am always wanting him to teach me something else, when he would rather just "do it" himself, rather than taking the time I need to learn. Hum...
I imagin I will have alot more to learn. thanks, I never played vidio games either! ginnie

I have, and had to quit; they induce too much stress and aggravate most of my pain issues. I've always enjoyed regular board & card games more anyway for the social interaction/aspects.

I have typical CSF leak symptoms, headaches, exaggerated hearing, nausea, loss of energy and weight loss (normally 150, now about 135). I have undergone 60 hyperbaric treatments at Duke Medical Center (negative results for healing the tear). I am stable but would very much appreciate any help getting this repaired soon. Medical history (highlights) includes, substantial thorax radiation (13,000 rads over 8 weeks in 1972) for treatment for testicular cancer (teritoma carcinoma rt testicle, removed), radical lymph node dissection (1972), gastric bypass (1974), 7 previous surgeries for flatback syndrome, spine implants, implant failures, lumbar spinal stenosis with radiculopathy. I know,......I'm lucky to be alive. Bottom line is that I am looking for a clinic/hospital/surgeon with successful experience in repairing CSF leaks. ANY help is appreciated, on or off line (gareth847@aol.com) Thanks
I also had a leak after a tethered cord release surgery but fortunately it was found months after the surgery and repaired. However, I never had headaches which was amazing to my Dr since I am a migrain sufferer. I wish you all the luck in the world!

Hi Gareth, My husband had a spinal leak back in 1987. A neurosurgeon, Dr. John Raggio from Lake Charles, La is the dr who went in and fixed it. My husband did not have anymore problems with it after that. I believe he is still in practice there. He is a very good dr (he is prob the best or one of the best in that area) but does not have a good bedside manner (kind of gruffy) and also, if you are a smoker, he will not touch you. Good luck on finding a good dr. and God Bless
