Living with Spinal Stenosis: My Story

[paucek.sheldon1]

I don't have much to share tonight.Except that I was never afraid of ***. Instead I thought I had nerve problems from a compressed nerve caused by a herniated disk.So I went to a neurosurgeon who did all these tests on me. Can I lean backwards, forwards, etc. I did fine. But when they looked at the MRI and the EMG which showed stenosis, they decided to recommend an operation.Well it takes a year or two for the body to heal from an operation. During that time I twitched. But I thought nothing of it.Finally I found neurologist who told me I had BFS and it may or may not have been caused by the herniated disk.The thing is by that time I had been twitching for about two years. Clearly I could not have had ***.Lots of messages I read show fear of that. Myself interestingly, never went through what some of you are.Random thoughts...Cheers.-43RichyThe43rd

Hear that 43RichyThe43rd. I am also glad I never got on those sites. I guess I just never put it together. That maybe because my neuros never hinted at anything since they just diod not know. Ignorance is bliss afterall.
