Re: Re: REAL pain in the neck/shoulder!!! (for Joi)

[Guest guest]

Joi,

Everyone has different reactions to surgery- I had pinched nerves and bone

spurs that I only found out about when I was involved in a hit-and-run car

accident, I had been experiencing tingling in my arm, loss of strength, and

couldn't move my arm around my back, or roll up car window. Also pain. I had a

neck fusion done, which really helped me, went to PT-went to my final check-up

for that issue, and had the car accident. I had to have an arthroscopy done on

my left arm-they didn't know if something had been done to the rotator cuff,

they cleared up the bone spurs and pinched nerves, and another round of PT, and

I feel great now. You just don't ever have a guarantee that things can be fixed

for you-but I felt I had to take a chance. I'm 55, and am still young enough to

want to be able to have a half-way normal life. It won't happen as I'm disabled

due to back problems, but in my case, my neck and arm problems were fixed, I

know not everyone is as

fortunate. Just thought you should hear both sides. Hope you find a way to

get better-

Sincerely,

 

Jeannie

I have chronic pain right now and cant walk-- from new PT yesterday-- I took

whole pain pill and it abated some, but I am crippled.

I am depressed beyond measure and fed up.

hi Annie,

Me too.  I am now aching all over and trying to figure out why so I can put a

name on it.

I haven't even had any surgery yet or injections.  My neurosurgeon sent out a

letter that he

won't be practicing anymore, whatever.  I got disgusted with the letter and

didn't finish reading it.

I was so happy I cried when I first got an appt to see him that now I am really

depressed that nothing

is going right for me.  I want to bang my head against the wall.  Bad time to

quit smoking.

Anyways, hang in there and if you want to write me in private to someone to talk

to my email is foxycol63@... 

It really sucks when you can't even walk.  I am having a very hard time walking

and am using a cane

for now.  When I do go out I use many pills, so, you get the drift. 

We are here for you, hang in there,

gentle hugs, Coleen

Coleen,

Here's how I'd look at this situation with your doctors and the procedure you

missed out on.

I'd say to myself that for some reason this particular doctor or this particular

procedure at this time was not the right thing for me. I don't believe things

happen as a coincidence, there's a reason for what happens and maybe it's a good

thing and you'll find a better doctor and a better way to control your pain.

Maybe you averted having a bad reaction or side effect because things didn't go

just how you wanted them to go.

Stopping smoking, well it's a fantastic time to quit, it's not easy anytime but

it's worth the aggravation.
