Guest guest Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 Hi , Like you, I got these stupid things when I was young. I had RA for 7 years and then I got severe pain in my leg and lost all feeling from my toes up to my knee...I had herniated a disk carrying my backpack at Uni!!! It was WAAAAAY worse than the RA, painwise and I dealt with it for 4 years and 4 surgeries (the first surgery wasn't successful and then there were complications with the other surgeries) ) However, once they got it right....life has been so much better. RA didn't seem as bad once they took care of my disk because I could walk better, got better sleep, be more active, etc. I hope the surgery worked perfectly the first time for you and you can start getting the RA under control.
