Re: MRI/Jolene/Deb

[Guest guest]

Hi Donelle ,

We think it is too , however he drives for a living and the left arm is the

arm he drives with so no rest time ( he works 6 days a week)

But now he also has that syrinx in his spinal canal , like Dani does , ( cyst

like formation in spinal canal from c1- t1 , we are also wondering if it could

be related to that .

The syrinx can and does cause nerve damage , which is half is problem with the

neuropathy , we found this out when he got his MRI , and they did a nerve study

( which hurts like heck !! )

ANYHOW I got off the subject, Joe's neck has been really bothering him ever

since he got sick from the colonoscopy prep.

Hurts bad enough that tonight he said, he might just have to go on permanent

disability for it ( mind you he is a WORKER , lol , loves to work and HATES the

thought ,) however its that painful

He is still on disability from the cancer , a back to work program thingie,

so we will see, I told him he needs to go to the neurosurgeon to get it checked

out but so far is balking DAM MAN!!

Will let you know as soon as we hear ANYTHING about the scan

Joe has to get sedated if he ever has to get one again

Speaking of Joe he goes today for a CT scan of chest and abdomen , he has

been having lots of chest pain ( mid chest wrapping under arm and into mid back

) for about 6-8 weeks now, we are hoping its just a pulled muscle but or

pulled SOMETHING , but he isnt confident cause it seems to be hurting from

under

the ribs ( do we have muscles under our ribs?) anyhow better to be safe than

sorry

Hi Deb... praying so hard today for Joe...hoping things are o.k. Let me

know cause I'm worrying... 6-8 weeks is a long time for a pulled muscle, isn't

it??
