Guest guest Posted December 18, 1999 Report Share Posted December 18, 1999 Hello everyone, As everyone here, I am looking for some help. In June, I was diagnosed with ACM II & multiple syrinxs that ran from C1 to T7 the ful width of the spinal cord from bone to bone. On the 18th of June they performed the decompression surgery. And I am better but I have chronic pain in my spine between my shoulder blades I can' sit up straight due to the pain and beginning to fear the hunch back that it may cause. I just turned thirty the end of November. But I have not been able to find any information that has helped with pain management. Unfortunately I spoke to my doctor about a plan of action to deal with pain and he put me on a barbituate. Which I only take on occasion and only at night. But I have such horrible dark rings under my eyes because of the lack of GOOOOOOD sleep. All the other tedious stuff, ie: burning sensations, tingling etc... I can deal with. But it is the pain that is becaoming unbearable. And I think it is because I feel so helpless. Anything that anyone has to offer would be great. Shane Burton sburton1@...
