I was so upset over his death....only 43! Strange, isn’t it?
Good to see you, potlatch! I haven’t been on Amy’s much as I’ve been down in my back. “Its always sumthin” as Gilda Radner always said. (I have a compression fracture in my spine and it has to be fixed as the pain is unbearable, even with pain pills.) Had a bone scan Monday and it confirmed the x-ray that I had the week before. My doctor is getting me an appointment with the doctor that can do these procedures.
Good to see you, potlatch!
Gosh I’m sorry to hear about your back trouble Jaycee, and hope it can be ‘fixed’ so you don’t have the pain. One of my daughters is having some back troubles and has had some injections. So many in my family having problems this past year. As you say - ‘it’s always something’ and it can really get you down.
I hope your eye problem is getting better, I know I miss all the discussion about things here because I’m gone so much. I’m having slowness in posting even today! I’ll keep you in my prayers Jaycee.
Sorry to be absent so much but like jaycee I am still battling health issues. Seems no sooner I get one half way fixed another pops up, or their dratted diets conflicting for cholesterol and low sodium screw up my Hypothyroid.
Hope it goes well with you jaycee. I get my MRI’s on Thursday, then back to the neurosurgeon on the 26th. He is going from the T’s down thru the Lumbar’s.
Like you the pain is so bad the lore tabs do NOT work, neither did PT, which made it worse, nor the nerve blocks which did the same. Had 4 of them only 1 of the cervical ones worked for 3 months. Only thing that does is a heating pad. BUT that ties you to home. So I buy those super size Hot Hands in the sporting depart of Walmart and stuff them in a well padded set of sewed together pot holders. They get up to 160 degrees so you have to pad them. The little ones do not get as hot, but do not last as long. You get 18 hrs of heat out of the big ones and 10 hrs out of the hand size ones. If they cool off to soon, just take them out and shake them in the air and they will reactivate. They are the only way I stay mobile.
This is an interactive view of your spine, just move your mouse over it and it will tell you what area of your body that nerve bundle controls.
