Re: WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN..........

OH YES.. I HAVE HAD THAT EMG DONE.. IT WAS DONE JUST BEFORE I MOVED
FROM LAS VEGAS.. AND YES.. THE RESULTS WERE NOT GOOD.. TURNED OUT TO BE
SOME KIND OF NERVE DAMAGE.. I STILL CAN NOT FEEL PARTS OF MY FEET.. I
REMEMBER THAT VERY LONG NEEDLE AS IF IT WAS YESTERDAY.. WHEN THEY DID
THE TEST, THERE WERE TIMES MY LEG DID NOT JUMP.. THAT DOCTOR DID THE
TEST AGAIN TO MAKE SURE IT WAS RIGHT.. AND SURE ENOUGH, MY LUCK IT
WAS...

A CAT SCAN.. NOW I DO NOT REMEMBER THAT... HOW IS IT DONE?? I'M SORRY I
DO NOT REMEMBER.. I HAVE HAD SO MANY OF THE SAME THINGS DONE TO ME..

HAVE ANY TEST DONE HERE IS LIKE PULLING TEETH.. I WAS LUCKY TO GET THE
X-RAY DONE... I SAW A SCS BOX ON ONE SIDE AND WHAT LOOKED LIKE THE
BATTERY ON THE OTHER SIDE.. THEN I SAW THE WIRE RUNNING UP MY SPINE...
THAT DOCTOR I SAW SATURDAY WAS IN AWWWWW WHEN HE SAW THE X-RAY.

I KNOW I DON'T HAVE LUPUS.. WAS TESTED I THINK TWO YEARS AGO OR SO.. AS
FOR RSD AND CRPS, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT IS...

I DON'T THINK THIS NEW DOCTOR CAN HELP ME.. BUT WHAT I AM TRYING TO
DO STAY AWAY FROM IS ANOTHER SURGERY.. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.. I JUST
CAN'T BE CUT OPEN AGAIN.. NO WAY NO HOW.. THE THOUGHT OF IT MAKES MY
STOMACH HURT...

THANK YOU OG FOR YOUR 2 CENTS.. IT WAS WORTH IT TO ME TO READ..
ANYTHING HELPS AT THIS POINT....

THANK YOU, ANDREA

Dear ddbo,

Girl, with all these pains you have, and where you have them, it's sounds
more and more, with every post, that you have a pinched sacral nerve, a very
nasty thing to be fighting. I asked you to list your tests, but you never
did. Was something called an EMG among them? You woulda remembered, it
involves sticking you with needles and zapping the needles with electricity.
It usually stands out in ones mind. And even if it showed nothing before,
that was then, this is now. And it has zero to do with any metal in your
body (pretty sure a CAT scan is ok too, as that's high resolution x-rays not
magnetic fields but the radiotech would know for sure.)
I know how bad you want the pain gone, believe me, I know, but you need to
put a name on this so you know what you are fighting. It may mean doing all
the tests all over again, but your body has stopped being a friend to you
and you have to make it tell you what's wrong, even if it doesn't want to.
There's a lot of diseases your symptoms could match up with including stuff
like Fibro, a couple different flavors of arthritis and the ever unpopular
RSD/CRPS, or Lupus, and half a dozen other things I'm forgetting to mention.
I hope you can rule them all out, but a chiropractor 3 times a week and/or
weekly physical therapy will not get you a diagnosis. You need medical
testing, if just to hopefully eliminate the nasty possiblities. A
chiropractor is peeing away money, if you can eliminate a progressive
disease with a diagnostic test.
Sorry, this is just my 2 cents worth, but someone eliminating nerve damage
seems like a better investment of funds that someone who just says comeback
for another session day after tomorrow. As with all things the choice is
yours, and I wish you nothing but good luck and good news.

Take Care--og

I AM WALKING OR TRYING TO SLEEP, I GET THESE REAL BAD CRAMPS ON THE
OUTER PART OF MY LEFT LEG.. IT HAPPENS EVEN WHEN I AM LAYING DOWN.. AT
TIMES IT FEELS LIKE FIRE AND THEN AT TIMES IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING
STABBING THE HECK OUT OF ME..

IF I EVEN TRY TO SIT INDIAN STYLE, THAT SAME LEG WILL CRAMP UP TO WHERE
I ALMOST START TO SCREAM..

DOES THIS MEAN: NERVE DAMAGE OR JUST MORE DAMAGE TO MY BACK..

MY SISTER IN LAW CALLED ME TODAY.. I TOLD HER ABOUT MY DOCTORS VISIT
WITH THE CHIROPRATIC.. I TOLD HER THAT I WAS UNABLE TO GET A MRI DONE
BECAUSE OF THE SCS.. THE MRI MACHINE WOULD PULL IT OUT OF MY BODY.

ALSO, AM I ABLE TO GET A CATSCAN WITH A SCS? DO ANY OF YOU KNOW THAT
ANSWER???

THANKS,

ANDREA
