hello everyone

[Guest guest]

Hello and group had a nice time in Ireland but unfortunately

on Friday morning woke up with severe back pain got up and tried to

walk I had what I can only describe as muscular cramp going from my

lower back to my toes of my right foot and my foot turned inward I

screamed the house down and lost all control over my bladder with it

my foot went icy cold it lasted for ages when the feeling came back I

could not put my foot on the floor, my doctor sent me to accident and

emergency department where a specialist was waiting they thought my

spinal cord was trapped first but the tests were negative a neuro

surgeon came to see me and said they would not operate to see what

was going on as I was so young and did not want to make things

worse,they kept me in overnight and sent me home the next day with

strong pain killers and antimflamitories, I will be seen in clinic

and I have to wait for an MRI scan which will take six to eight

months even longer if the emergency list gets longer so I have to put

up with the pain till then they think it is a disc problem but cant

see too much from the x ray that is why I have to have the scan so

they can see more detail. I can only walk about seven steps then the

shooting pain starts I can put up with the normal pain but this

shooting pain is excrutiating the pain killers dont even ease it I

also have a burning pain in my right hip has anyone else suffered

with anything similar,its getting me down as I cant do anything I

have to use both my crutches to get about my poor husband is working

hard looking after me and the kids my children moved my bedroom

downstairs for me yesterday so it would be easier for me as I cannot

get up the stairs. I hope everyone is having a much better time than

me trying to keep positive all the best
