I went for my MRI today, and they did the lumbar just fine. However, they didn't have a big enough clamp for my head or collar for my neck so I have to get my neck done next week. And they moved my Neuro appt. up to the 18th instead of the 1st. It's a problem to have a 5xl head and a 28 inch neck.

So, if someone tells you....” what are you doing walking around with a swollen head “ just tell them it’s all brains, not brawn👍 |

My back hurt last night from the position I was in for the MRI. However, my feet didn't burn at all. I am starting to think that it might be a spine problem.

Back from the doctor for results. Disks pinching nerves in my neck and lower back. Surgery is the order of the day. I feel really good today too. Life is strange.

If your feeling good today think a while about surgery. Try not to over do it for a while and go from there...all the best to you👌👍👍 Today is one of those bad days for me, can’t drive due to some heavy meds taken today to try and keep my small fiber neuropathy in check. Don’t know how much longer I want to go through this 💩! |

I know if it wasn't for my wife and small dog counting on me...I'd have probably checked out some time ago...but wife says no go...who'd I have to complain to and pick on...dog says without me she'd have no place to pee on...good to be wanted...I guess.

Only problem with a chiropracter is they cannot see inside of you...had one attempt to "adjust" my spine when I had spinal stenosis...almost crippled me for life...so check out the MRI before going further...might just save you a BIG problem from becoming permanent. I have been going to this guy for years. We talked before he started and he didn't do any spine adjustments. Just a little massage of the area and some time on the TENS unit, followed by getting it taped. He has my recent x-rays on file and he's very cautious about things. My Chiro the same. I start hurting 30 days after the last appointment. He helps tremendously. Been going for 30 years, but never been cut. I would be taking stuff if I didn't visit monthly. Unbelievable what they can fix. Voodoo Man. |

The public is unaware of how Polyneuropathy affects people, until they get it.

Microdiscectomy and Laminectomy worked pretty well for me in my lower back they cold chiseled my neck not something I would recommend to a enemy. Had good luck with laser for scar tissue recommended for a first try over full blown back surgery. Shots depends on the doctor the last one I had sucked I should just get a tattoo with right spot for the injections. Nerves are another story there are so many things can affect them and the blood tests done for neurological disorders are never ordered without multiple visits to a specialist.

I'm going to the Neurology Center at Houston Methodist in the Medical Center.
That's as much as I can load the dice. 😁🤠

Unbelievable what they can fix. Voodoo Man. I think a few bad ones give the good ones a bad name. I have gone to 3 in my life. The first one retired before I needed him again. The second was in Harrison Ar, I road the Bonneville from Tyler to Harrison non stop and I couldn't get off the bike. The current pair I see have fixed or at least greatly helped 4 different pains so far. |

I have neuropathic pain myself brother. Believe me, I know what you are going through, and it is not fun.
I have neuropathic pain from two herniated discs, cervical spondylosis, cervical stenosis, and cervical radiculopathy. Fun times!
Right now I am feeling really jammin', though. Why? I got some Alien Dutchess and Harlequin under my belt. Nature's best medicine. And a heavenly bowl of Sutliff Holiday Mixture for the nerves.

to all the above, sending my good thoughts for anything resembling chronic pain. Only thing with me, two bulging disks, cannot do anything "verticle"...no shock absorbers left. Got that back when around 23, had to do manual labor cause am somewhat learning disabled & no go with sitting at a desk. Ruined my promising career as a distance runner. Still do race-walking, no pain. Hope all affected can get some relief eventually
