Re: Coleen- MRI results

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

 

Thank you for the replies.  I am sorry it has taken me so long to reply back to

you. 

I have been so bummed out and down since my birthfather passed away a month ago

last Monday that I just haven't felt like doing much.

 

I noticed something yesterday when I was in the grocery store.  Remember how I

said that one of the symptoms from one of the problems in my back is leg

weakness?  Well, as I was slowly walking around I actually felt the sensation of

weakness coming from a spot in my back.  It was so weird.  It is as if that one

spot in my spine was being agitated (from my walking or pressure on it I

guess)and the feeling I got from it getting agitated was a very clear feeling of

leg weakness.  Gosh!  It was strange.

I have not seen a neuro surgeon.  I saw my case worker for OHP Plus and gave her

my updated info (my MRI  on Oct. 31st and hospital visit for bad pain on Oct.

29th).

She will send that info to the team for OHP PLus and hopefully get me on that

plan.

 

I need to look at my options, what can I have done, what will they pay for etc. 

I need to do some searching online.

 

Two years ago or more when I first got my xrays done on my back, they diagnosed

me with ddd, scoliosis, arthritis and sciatica. 

 

I get alot of pain in my hips like it is coming from where the sciatic nerve is

involved.

That is another big reason I have to be slow and careful when I move so I don't

agravate it.  I am sure alot of us know how bad sciatica can hurt!  You don't

want to agitate it either!  Ug. So I guess you can say that I have pain on more

than one level. 

 

Anyhow, I am trying to catch up here with these emails.  Thank you for all your

help and advise.

 

for now, take care, Coleen
