hang in there girl….what is the lastest on your health situation?

the latest on my health issue… long story made short… the dr believes that the neck surgery i had last year to have 4 screws, a plate and my bone marrow put in has failed. due to this, it is causing extreme pain down my neck, half way down my spine and through out my entire arms. i am taking 3 muscle relaxers and 3 pain pills a day that is not touching the pain one bit. i went for the testing the other day in which they rule out certain things… they had to zap my arms and then poke very long needles through out my arms into my muscles to make sure my muscles work. once that comes back normal, i will then have another mri and then sent off to the surgeon who will want to redo my neck surgery. at this second.. im debating whether or not to go through that again because it is extremely dangerous to have done.

ummmm…the failure, was it due to the fault of the surgeon? If so, have you talked to an attorney?

also, have you gotten a second opinion?

im not sure if its fault of the neurosurgeon or if its just my body doing it.. i have no idea.. im working with a different neurosurgeon at the moment who is doing all the testing and such and he will be sending me for an mri of that section soon and then i will talk to him and find out what is going on and why it has failed.. (next appointment) then i will proceed from there with an attorney if i have too.. as with everything else in life.. its a waiting game ~sigh~

i will keep you updated..
as for my pain pills.. im a type of person that hates how they make me feel.. so if i can get away with out taking them.. i do..
i have actually been with out them for the past 2 days.. i suffer a bit but i can deal with the pain.. its when i just cant function is when i take the pain pills.. you know that scale they give you at the dr’s? 1 through 10.. im a 6 everyday.. but to look at me.. you could never tell because its been like that for so long.. its normal for me.. and i just push through.. but when i get to about a 9 is when i do take a pain tab so that i can atleast get out of bed and sit on the couch to be somewhat normal for the day..
as a teen, i can honestly say.. i never did drugs.. just didnt want to get into that stuff.. and still dont today… so im very careful with what the drs prescribe to me.. and again will suffer until i just cant move before taking anything for pain.. hugs.

Hello there Everyone!

Sorry I have been away from the site for a short spell. I have been so busy at work lately and the weather has been so nice, I have not had much free time for the computer. My two little ones have been keeping me extremely busy as well. I try to get online after they are in bed for the night, but my computer has been giving me problems lately.
I miss the old days too, i am coming up to my 3rd year as a member here and i have seen a lot of changes. A lot of good people have come and gone and a lot are still here. I look forward to chatting with you all soon and continuing our friendship that we have developed together. I honestly feel bad that I can’t be here more, but the moderators pay just is not enough, so unfortunately I have to have a real job that takes up all my time. That being said I will try to get here more often.

:)

Bearrr! i got a note from you in my box and i came to this post to paste the link to your shoutbox but here you are. :)

Good to see you around. i don’t come here like i used to before myself. Busy. ;)
