Thank you. I have an appt with my spinal surgeon on 9/4. I have been having accupuncture and massages by two chiro's. They want me to have this checked because of the pain I exhibit over the area.

I have problems sitting without being reclined. Once my fit hit the floor I become very nauseous and it takes me walking over 100 ft before I can straighten up to a straight standing position. Turning over in bed is next to impossible - we have gone to a Tempurpedic adjustable bed - to help me get in and out of bed. Next purchased will be those stair lifts unless something changes soon. Stairs are near impossible.

When I read up on the SI joint the past couple of days, I am very curious about this since I exhibit many of the symptoms I have read about.

Would they be able to see this on an MRI CT scan?
 
Paula, boy can i relate, i was hopeing the Lyrica would work as well so i could get off the Vicodin, but i have been slowing down, because i started the increased dose and it really seems to relax me although i seem to feel very sweaty from this, in the middle of making sure my thyroid labs are right as well! When the kiRAB go back to school this week i am really going to try and walk some or more i should say and do a few other things to see how i do. I truly think what happens in my case is that if i bend just right i am screwed like it jars it or something and then if the other defect is acting up it's a double whammy. Thats the only thing i can make heaRAB or tails of this. Also they said i didn't have any arthritis but who knows i have only gotten worse since my falls and no tests since then wich has been about a year or so i'm sure i could have because isn't that what can cause the arthritis? I mean thats what i though, injuries, ect. I have had a pretty good holiday weekend, kiRAB slept out in the tent(not for my back anymore ugh) I am thinking when i tell my dr. next week about the Lyrica whatnots she might try to switch my to the Cyrabalta. I hate trying all these different meRAB it's makes me:dizzy:
I hope you had a great holiday as well!
Take care, Melissa
