List,
Before I say yes to my doctors I would like some info on back repairs,
surgery, spinal injection steroids etc. I just had my MRI because I have
numbness in both my feet for the last 3 years and physical therapy and
acupuncture is not stopping the process. I meet with the doctor today to
discuss the results but just looking at the photos it appears I have a
squished nerve. I know the PT doctor wants to do an epidural of steroids, I
think it is a good start as surgery should be the last thing. I am no wimp
to lower back pain I have been on ice every morning for years I just don't
want this problem to cut off the use of my feet. I have had cronic back pain
as far back (no pun) as 17 which increased in the 10 years of ambulance /
EMT work so I am very familiar with my situation I'm just now moving forward
with treatment because it is at a concerned level.
Steroids anyone ; )
This list has never left me in the dark. You guys & gals have made life
easier with your wisdom.
