Well ladies, my back is perfectly fine now. However a nerve is being pinched and my rightleg from the tips of my toes to middle of my shin are numb and I have this exurciating pain that soots down my butt and leg on m right side. So I have to have a MRI c-spine on weds. then see the ortho again next friday.
On a lighter note. I have dropped another pants size. I was wearing mens XL sweat pants. Well I'm wearing a large now and I have gone to size 20W in my pants.
Congrats Randi!!!!! Even a few lost pounds can make you feel better
Good luck with your MRI. I had those symptoms years ago & it was a herniated disk in my lower back. Once they fixed that, I was good to go. Til I fell & they had to do it again. I am so clumsy. However, all is fine 15 years later. I hope you have good success too
Hope school is going well too
Well they gave me some valeum. I hate MIR's and get freaked out. Chad's gonna take me since i will be sedated. I've had one done on my ankel, but not my back.
Everyone just thinks my syactic nerve is being pinched by my butt muscles. but there might be a chance of it being pinched in my lower back.
All I know is for almost 3 weeks my foot and leg are losing more feeling every day. But i will let everyone know weds if I survived or not.
Well the valum the doc gave did nothing to help me get over being scare after being stuffed inside a very small mri machine. tommorow i see the ortho. so hopefully we can find out what is making my leg go numb
I know what you mean about being scared in the MRI machine, I go ballistic in those things. They always give me something that knocks me out before I have one....I'm not sure what it is though. I hope the orthopedic dr can tell you something.
Hugs, Paula
I have 2 herination on L5. As dr. smith put it. Disks are like jelly dounuts and my jelly has come out and is pressing aginst the nerve root tat connects to my leg and foot.
So starting next tuesday I am going to recieve injections. If that don't work, then I will need sugrey.......
