Guest guest Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Good morning! I have been seeing pain management doctor for a couple months now and he wants to do epidural shots in my neck. I have had two decompressions, the last one at TCI and a cervical fusion. I am in a tremendous amount of pain which nothing seems to help and I think another check up in order! Problem is that I haven't paid off my other surgery and on top of not being able to work I have found out through genetic testing I have cystic fibrosis! Believe it or not I am 38 years old and just now being diagnosed and the only positive outlook is that it is clasified as a mild strand. Anyway, if anyone can let me know the safety and prognosis of the epidural shots that would be appreciated more than you know! Hope everyone is having a pain free day!

The first neuro I saw said to me " you have Chiari and it will cause headaches, we will keep an eye on it " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
