Hi all I am new to this board so I will explain my history first.
Back in Feburary I hurt my back at work, in March I got that bad I was taken to hospital where the surgeon did a emergency Diskectomy. Since that I have had 3 Disecomties 1 CT Myelgram, countless MRI, CT and X Rays. I have also had a laminectomy and fusion of the L4, L5 area, it had to be cut open again as there was a hudge blood clot around my spinal column and it was cut or torn a couple of times during surgery and finally I thougth was a infection which I had to have a Pic line inserted and heaps of anti biotics after a full week I was alound to go home, this was septeraber.
On the first of Novemebr we celabrated the fact that I hadnt been in hosptial all month.
Not a week later I started to go down hill even aqua was a strugle and my water works have started to play up and the feeling of water running down my legs GREAT !!! so went back to my surgeon who promptly ordered a MRI, CT and X Rays. The next day he was going through them with me and found out my fusion is great BUT L5, S1 has bulged, Great but the worst was yet to come when he said I have now a condition called Arachnoiditis, what Spiders in my back ?
SO I am on Dexmethsone 0.5 4 twice a day 4 tabs and Nupentin 300 twice a day and only one pill it seems to make a difference but I mowed the lawn yesterday and am very stiff and a bit sore.
PHEW !!!!!!
So who out there has this crappy thing.
