Guest guest Posted December 17, 1999 Report Share Posted December 17, 1999 Just wanted to also add that heart problems can develop at later dates as well even if not present at birth neck I just read your message about Danny having the Atlanto Axial Instability. We had checked when he was two and was fine. I gater reading your message you thought he was ok also. How did you find out about the problem? Did he have any symptoms or did a doctor find it? I am wondering because i thought you either had it or didn't I didn't know it could show up later. Hope everything will be ok. Thanks, Margaret Greyson and - 3 and Annice 18mos.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Consider yourself lucky Llinda, an MRi's easy, all you do is lie there while the machine does all the work. My doc wants to set up one of those things - the name of the test escapes me right now - where they put a tube down your throat & take pictures of your insides. He wants to see if I have any varices - I don't care, I'm so NOT going to swallow a tube, should've done it when I was unconscious.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Llinda, if you’re happy about it, I’m happy about it. I hope it renders you PAIN-FREE, and paves the way for others. Love, De FW: neck Hello peoples... good news on the neck! I am scheduled at the hospital for Wednesday the 31st for surgery on my cervical discs. I am waiting now on a phone call from the docs office to let me know the details. It is scheduled as an out-patient procedure so I should be home Wednesday night. I won't be able to do much for probably a couple of weeks, yea... I get out of the last 5 days of school!!! (the little people are getting quite restless) Hubby should be back from vacation that day so can help tend to the critters. I am sure I will be able to drive home myself. Really don't want to tie up a friend for an all day ordeal. The procedure is called Disc Nucleoplasty, more info here: http://www.nucleoplasty.com/dpat/dpat.aspx if you are interested . It is a fairly new treatment, the FDA approved it in 2004. It is more commonly used on the lower back, but my doc feels I am the perfect cervical candidate as no other treatment options are open to me, other than heavy drugs. Lots to do so had best get going. Wish me luck! In my mind I am dancing and doing cartwheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 i have not gotten a chance to read everyones replies about the neck pains/surgeries. i had to reschudule my appt. my wife just had a miscarriage. neither of us are healthy nutritionally, and are under our weight limit according to height; we feed our children first. (shrug) it is just another slap in the face as we wait for some miracle to help us, as doctors and the disability people are content to sit back and worry about their medical licenses (as they are state docs) instead of worrying about their pateints like the doctors we had when i held a job. but thank you for the replies, and i will get a chance to read them now before actually seeing the doctor again. to answer some questions i saw. there are some mornings when i cannot turn my head to the right; literally. there are times when i get this shooting sensation that goes up my neck into my head and it feels like fire. it is becoming increasingly a problem for me. and because i know that back problems sometimes lead to neck problems, i want to head this off before surgery is required, as it hasnt been much help in the past. i have a severe bulge in my neck; it almost makes me look like im seriously old and about to grow a hump or something. whatever..... that is what the docs are for. but thank you; though i have not read all the replies yet. rob No greater burden can be borne by an individual than to know no one cares or understands. _________________________________________________________________ Get today's hot entertainment gossip http://movies.msn.com/movies/hotgossip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 sorry to hear about the miscarriage. don't your state have food stamps and organzations that help with food. I know here we have alot of different ones that help people that are in your position. Even some of our churches help. We also have low income state health and mental clinics that are based on our income. I had to use them while waiting for my SSDI and medicare to get approved. Your local DHR should also be able to help you find these places that is how I found them. I just walked in and told them of my situtation and they pointed me in the right direction. It was a hard step to make it. But it had to be done. Hugs & Prayers Babs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
