Tashlyn medical issues

[Tashalynk2]

I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, stenosis, bruised spinal cord c-4, degenerative disc disease entire spine, fatty liver and I don't drink, just obese entire life but reducing. I'm taking gabapenten but talc is one of the ingredients. Taking 300 mg morning and night. Doctor wants me to take more but it makes my belly fat. I'm also taking vitamins, lisenopril, hctz, being weaned from Tramadol so it will start working again. My right side is swollen especially my leg and thigh. My PCP does nothing about it. I think it is lymph edema. Behind my right knee there's a swelling cutting of circulation at the fold. When I hold it up, I get more feeling into my foot. It is also a darker color than the left side. My right hand and arm are numb also because of spinal cord injury. I've had two cervical fusion surgery 4-7 and 3-4 both anterior and posterior respectively. I'm a retired certified medical assistant. On disability retirement from the VA Hospital because my right hand cannot feel the mouse buttons. There is a little depression and I take celexia when I can't stop crying. I need to know what should be done concerning my hips, arms and legs becoming weak. And I also have a condition in my muscles that cause them to go into spasm when I use them and my arms tremble afterwards.

Sorry to hear about all your medical issues.

This is a running forum, is that where you wanted to post?

If you click on the "square of dots", next to the home symbol that will let you search for communities. There are links to fibromyalgia forums there.

I hope that you find what you need 😊
