Guest guest Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 I have been in pain for many years, I got something called TRANSVERSE MYELITIS, which only 1400 of a million people get; it paralyzed from T12 down and left me in burning feet pain 24 hrs. a day, with deep spasms; then 3 years later, I suddenly got scoliosis & debated 9 mths. to do it; I was hospitalized 4 mths. many complications followed within 24 hrs. or less of surgery. Even on a respirator, kidneys failed, neph. tubes put in & 80,000 white ct.; finally found out they didn't take care of my urostomy bag during the 10 1/2 surgery and urine backed up to my abdomen, formed an abscess, which required my urologist to have to go in surgery redo my urostomy drained 2 liters of infection and fluid from my abdm., but after the scol. surgery, I have been bedridden for 17 mths. because of I think the scol. surgeon cut a nerve or severely damaged one which goes into my bottom; now I can't even get out of bed only when forced to see one oe two drs. who are dragging their feet. I was fused from T10 down and I have lost 100 lbs. in 11 mths. & no one in this backward state even seems concerned about that. We have had to wait way too long and my 33 yr. retired military husband & I deserve more of a life than this. My bottom burns like it is in an oven now and if I had known I wud never let that dr. touch me for that surgery. I am asking alot, but where would you go if you were reduced to 1 1/2 yrs. bedridden cause you can't even sit due to the immense pain. I went to Baylor Rehab. when I was 1st paralyzed from TM. I can accept paralyzation BUT NOT THE PAIN and condition of being reduced to bed!!! I hate how it has affected my family and friends don't even come but maybe one a year. HELP???? and THANKS in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
