Guest guest Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 I am so glad to hear things are going so well-when folks such as yourself are willing to share experiences it gives me courage to consider more options in resolving my back issues. I am positive your follow up will be great! Things sound like they are going right on schedule...

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 diaane, and all of yu out there. follow up appt turned out to be with nurse practioner who's sole function as i can figure out, was to make sure i am not infected and to remove bandage and examine wound. otherwise she wasnt worth shit. but i decided to make my own follow up appt with dr K myself for a week from this coming friday. so i will make a list of my questions then and he will answer them. he is pretty good about that. i told him it was a great surgery when he called me today. it was. so far i am feeling a little bit more hopeful, a little bit better every day. no pain in leg. and i am getting stronger. but nowhere ready to go back to work. nope. marsha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 marsha, thanks for the news. but jeez, he could have at least come in and looked at it and talked to you in person. good for you for making an appt. we just all have to take control of the choices made for our bodies. i still shudder to think of being a walking stick woman if i had let local, NY, CA surgeons do all of the fusion they wanted to on my back and neck. so glad my family doctor helped me see through the fog of fear and make some logical decisions. keep on keeping on lady! an angel just kissed you on the cheek ;o) Carlene in MT Re: Marsha diaane, and all of yu out there. follow up appt turned out to be with nurse practioner who's sole function as i can figure out, was to make sure i am not infected and to remove bandage and examine wound. otherwise she wasnt worth shit. but i decided to make my own follow up appt with dr K myself for a week from this coming friday. so i will make a list of my questions then and he will answer them. he is pretty good about that. i told him it was a great surgery when he called me today. it was. so far i am feeling a little bit more hopeful, a little bit better every day. no pain in leg. and i am getting stronger. but nowhere ready to go back to work. nope. marsha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Sounds a bit frustrating-but at the same time it sounds like your Dr is a good communicator- I am delighted you have no leg pain! YEAH!

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 It is an auto immune disease also. It is my body attacking my thyroid so I have to take medicine for that. It effects your brain, skin bones and more, but I have worked hard to take care of that now have to take care of getting the right med. for my RA. Marsha [ ] Marsha Hi Marsha, What is Hashimoto's disease ? I think I've heard of it, but don't know what it is. It doesn't sound very nice.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Hi, It doen't sound nice. I suppose it is more complicated than thyroid desease. I have an under active thyroid, I have to take thyroxine. It makes one wonder if the thyroid is a common problem for arthritis sufferers!
