Hi all I have posted here once or twice before but always manage to say the wrong thing and get my posy modified!
This shouldn't be toobad.
Tomorrow I finally have my mri on back and neck. Then in 2 week is the follow up.
You can bet that as soon as I get the results I will post to see what you all think.
Wish me luck!!!!!
 
Good luck! What kind of problems do you have with your back and neck (or because of your back and neck)? I hope the MRI helps toward dx whatever is going on (and then treatment to help you out).

Thanks for your reply!
I got sick three years ago. My back was at it's worst with severe stiffness and pain. But I have scoliosis and just kept going.
One day my cervical lymph nodes swelled up ,actually the whole chain but one was huge. I also started having low grade fevers, night sweats and just felt fluish. This began a three yr long search for lymphoma. The node was biopsed but came back"worrisome for b cell marginal zone lymphoma." So we had to send the path reports to a better university. It took one week to find out no it was just b cell hyperplasia or reactive to some infection.
About this time my feet felt like cement blocks and it was very hard to walk, muscle twitches 24/7 all over my body, extreme dizziness, memory loss, hard to find worRAB, all over pain. Nurabness and tingling of arms and legs and feet, dull ache behind both legs and always feeling flusih. I had a hard time going to sleep. Just a wreck.
I have been tested for everything. MS, lupus, I do have thyroid disease but the docs say it can't be all from that. My blood cells are good. But I have tons of ivc titers and mono and ect ect. My ANA titier just now came back positive but after another lupus panel. Nothing.
Finally I thought ok back to basics. I have had a bone marrow biopsy for that lymhoma. I had had enough.
I am dx with fibro, chronic fatigue syndrome, thyroid disease and mitral valve prolapse.
So I go to the othipedic specialist and he does an xray and says I have one completely collapsed disc the one above it is ready to go and one gone in my neck. So today I had the mri.
Sorry for the life story.
Now I wait with all of the symptoms. I am not fooling myself into thinking all of these symptoms could be caused from my back. But maybe a few.
Have you ever heard of fevers, night sweats or lymph nodes being associated with spine probs?????
I should post that one!
Anyway I am hoping for some answers!
What is your back story????????????????????
 
Wow, you have been through a lot and don't have many answers to show for it, do you?

I have never heard of fever, night sweats, etc. being associated with the spine unless it is some sort of tumor...but then just because I haven't heard of it doesn't mean it couldn't happen. it does sound like some sort of overall nerve ailment rather than mechanical problems of the spine.

Where do you go from here?
 
I don't know where to go from here. The docs every 3 months ck swollen nodes (I only have them on neck and behind ears and behind neck) and I get tons of cysts or nodules on my thyroid. So that will always be watched.
As for the dizziness, muscle twitching, all over pain?????? I am on a cocktail for CFS or fibro. But it doesn't help.
We are leaving on vacation tomorrow for a week. Secretly I am scared how I am going to do. But everyone's counting on me.
The following Monday I get results of mri. I will post asap.
Thanks for your replies.
