Hey back buddies bare with me i had needles stuck in the tendons in my shoulder:( Okay i had my last visit with the Rheumy and i didn't ask but am assuming he work with much worse off patients as i am to come back as needed. Okay thisis what he said. He stated that i need to see anoth Ortho. He said that what they might have to do is go in and take the partially fused vertabrea and seperate this apart or fuse it the rest of the way together. I am not sure if an ortho does this and i told him i already saw one in the past but he was just somebody that seemed okay out of the phone book and he stated there was nothing he could do for me. So he said find someone else better.And he said not sure how true this is but ithier way if my leg issue/foot issue was related to my back or not an EMG would detect ithier way, is this correct? Anyway the last big fall really messed my upper left side and possibly my lower left side as well as remeraber i couldn't move my arm for a week had exrays came out okay well i still couldn't move it right all this time and i was noticing this popping everytime i moved it and he examined this and found at the least messed up tendons, i am also having spasms in my neck he stated but this could be because of the shoulder ugh. So although he stated he couldn't inject me in the neck didn't tell me what i can do for this! Take care, Monkey
 
Hi, Monkey! When you see the orth have him take a look at your neck as well as your low back. Some of your symptoms remind me of problems I had before my cervical fusion. I am one of the lucky ones who has lurabar and cervical issues and fusions in both. Keep us posted and take care, Dee
 
Monkey,
you should search for a good Dr, not just someone from Yellow page. This is a major decision you have to make and you want to make sure your Doc is experiensed and has knowlegde in Spinal surgeries.

Good luck to you and blessings...:angel:
 
Moldov, thats what i'm realizing;) And although desperate to find and aswers and a solution i am going to be more pateint and i am seeking a new MD as all the gooRAB ones left the building were i went before and the new dr. already knows some of whats going on and wanted me to be a new patient! Gosh i hope i get somewhere soon! I was out of my pain meRAB for more than twenty four hours and i kept telling myself i will be okay but he^^ no i was tottally miserable, without it it feels like my back is broke and i walk all slouched and and my upper leg hurt as well as all the way down to my foot so bad and i started having spasms again ugh. But i am scared because the Rheumy mention fusion and or seperating and that scares me because i see so many negatives on that one. Anyway i see my new MD on the 5th and hopefully get a referral and some insight!
Love, Monkey
