I have not been arround much lately so i just wanted to send a big to you all.

I have a herniated disc in my neck which is pinching on a nerve..that is causing a hell of a lot of pain. My arm feels like i slept funny on it and its asleep weak, but gnawing out pain in shoulder blade, andnoi feelings in hand or fingers but pins and needles...

Iam waiting for an MRI Scan soon, but see a Nuerologist in about an hours time [ i hope the prognosis is good, finding it hard to cope now. i have slept in a chair for the last 18 days as i cant lay flat as the pain increases..........when will the pain end...i get over one thing and someone upstairs decides to chuck something else my way

I have used this slight window of oppotunity where my index finger does not feel like my bg toe to write...because i want you all to know im thinking of you all. These past months have thrown out some crap for may in this forum, i'm convinced times have to get better soon

for the room

David

hi David,

we have been missing you around here but totally understand...you just take care of you, dude...

we'll be thinking of you and keeping you in our prayers and thoughts...

hopefully that MRI will give you some answers that will help resolve the disc issues.

sending you a big bear hug back...

stealing your words:
"take care of you"



post when you can. Even just a smiley would be suffice enough, don't worry about it if you can't post.

Oh crikies David!!! I have a lousy neck as well, but not like that yet! You have my sympathy 100% and I hope they fix it! I've had pain shots twice, can't remember if it's c3 or 4 or what, but well...most painful thing.

I so hope and pray that they find something definitive and make it go away!

Oh, David, hope you can get the scan as soon as possible...I'm praying for some pain relief and also that you can get some much needed rest...

I wondered where you went to. gentle hugs for our hurting friend!

David Thinking of you and so sorry you have been in such
pain. How did your neurologist appointment go?? My brother has
severe back issues but refuses surgeries. He has shots, hmmmm
can't remember what at the moment, prednisone maybe? It helps
him function but does little for the pain. My heart goes out to you

(((DMACK)))....man, neck issues are a bummer!!! I had to have a cervical fusion about two years ago. So painful before the surgery and I did not want to have it....scared the begeebies out of me but I had lost complete use of my right arm. Please take care, I will be thinking about you.

((David)) Hoping you are finding some relief. How did your appt go?
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers

Hope you are feeling better, David

{{{{{DM}}}}}....I too, am praying that you will get some relief. Please let us know what your doc says. It is such a painful issue to deal with.
but VERY gently........
