Hello again :)

I now most of ya's have it so much worse than I do but I have been feeling worse and was at my PCP, he was changing my pain meds trying to help me with some relief. While I was there I asked if I could have a copy of the report my neuro sent him and he was glad to do so.

Well now I have it I looked up some of the words on google and now I am trying to put it all together, and see what I have to look forward in the future. Well here goes it:

"She has epidural fibrosis and arachnoiditis, he recommeds spinal cord stimulator because it is so bad it's in operatable."

"She has cervical spine spondylosis over approx. 4 levels and would not benefit from surgical management."

Then under Assessment: Cervical Spondylosis, Lumbar Spondylosis, Postlaminectomy Syndrome lumbar.

Well I really would appreciate if anyone with some knowledge of these can tell me what to look out for. I already can barely walk, only around the house always tripping gets tired fast, when I go to supermarkets I use one of those either electric chairs or my husband pushes me in a manual if they have one otherwise most times I just sit in the car. My neck shoulders and arms and hands shake allot, cannot hold a phone using head and neck to due a task with my hands they start to jerk and I loose the phone, one time right in my dinner plate lol. The pain is still there 24 7 and even the new meds aren't doing a thing for me, So please HELP, I am one of those people whom like to know exactly what to expect and the dr's really don't say much, but I can read their faces.

Sincerely,
Nipper :dunno:
