Hey all how is everyone?

[Guest guest]

Hi all... Joe goes on vacation and YAY he's back and Nick and also come

out of hiding, where have you two been? Have missed having you two posting,

along with Joe's posts... and , where are you, lost in gaterland in FL?

hehe I have missed ya all tho.

I've putting off updating what's going on with me but I can tell you a little

while I wait to get in to see my doc. I had an EMG last Monday and doc noticed a

difference (worse) from my first EMG. I'll know more when I talk to my doc and

go over both the reports.

I was also told (by someone else) that my pelvis is tilted, tho that's normal

for everyone at a slight stage, mine is more noticeable when you do a

before/after...before someone " manipulates " you like they are playing

chiropracter (I have known this, I was told this a couple years ago before my

2nd back surgery). I say playing b/c a doctor who I had seen one day b/c my reg.

doc was out for a week decided to do something my doc hasn't been too keen on

and he's not a chiropracter. Before you ask I'm not sure how I feel about

chiropracters, in my personal situation I've had 1 ortho, 2 neuro, and 2 reg.

docs tell me they do not suggest I go that route esp since I've had 2 back

surgeries now, both unsuccessful (as we all know *sniff* lol) I'm not sure how I

feel about chiropractic right now, I'll discuss that with my doctor when I see

her next week. I just wanted to let you all know I'm alive still, just in a lot

of pain and tired, tired of all of it and fed up with no answers when I know

something is wrong but no surgeon will see me again w/o seeing a problem on an

MRI.. that's what gets me is b/c I know some things won't show on MRI's or any

other test, don't show until someone goes in for something else and " whoops

here's what's been her pain all this time " . I'll let ya know what comes of my

appt with doc next week, of the EMG results, etc. Last time I saw her, the

Friday before my EMG was done, I did ask for a script for water therapy and I

started that a couple days after the EMG. She also told me at that time we're

going to (depending on the EMG results, etc one day at a time) try to get

more/other tests done, one at a time. She said she wants to try to get a full

xray series of my back from my neck to my low back/left hip, but with someone

noticing again this tilted pelvis she may opt for a different series of xrays

first, will see. She also mentioned an MRI of my neck... b/c I noticed the last

few times I've had pains when my arm has been moved up and out (like pointing to

the left but a little behind) that I have sharp pains.. she's thinking/wondering

ok, we checked out and did 2 L5-S1 laminectomies, is there something we are

missing at the neck/shoulder areas? Reason being when that kid pulled out in

front of me and I hit him (his fault, he " thought he could make it " in his words

to the police.. had his license for 2 weeks) with brakes slammed at about

45-50mph (YEP he was That close!) it caused my shoulder to " pop " out of place

and back... yet they didn't do xrays till I noticed the bump on my shoulder

about a month after the accident, hard to explain why etc. Anyhow, she's

wondering, like some docs have, if that accident caused my low back problems and

just decided to show their ugly head a few years later.. is it possible that my

neck is also showing problems, etc etc etc Will see what comes of this EMG

first. Yes, the accident was nasty, both cars totaled but thankfully my

daughter, then about 2, just suffered a little bruise above her heart where the

seatbelt held her in her carseat. I do have lovely pics of my face and the car

if anyone wants to take a guess at my now medical condition LOL Jk they are not

pretty. I will be taking those and the accident report to my doc just so she

really knows the extent of that accident, maybe there's something there that I

should have had them check out more thoroughly before... but, my mind doesnt

always think about things like that.

I think that's about all that's new for now, I'm literally in tears so I need to

lay down, I'm just getting worse here and it sucks booty (I'm being good and not

saying any bad words lol)
