Results day

[Backbracelady]

So had my appointment today with consultant regarding my spinal issues.... results; no surgical treatment possible 5 protrusions!! Blackened discs showing water loss in all lumbar discs, issues with a disc in my neck. Severe nerve damage and tissue damage, degenerative spine....

Referral to pain management clinic, hydrotherapy... no physio available. It will now be a constant battle of pain management and living a life.

Fibromyalgia and autoimmune disease...

30 years old and this is it!!! I was gutted!!! To say the least. I'm taking weekend to digest and make some serious decisions.

Love to you all xxx

Don't know what to suggest.

Soft hugs,

Wow, that's a lot to digest at such a young age. I do really feel for you. Have they offered you anything in terms of a management plan and how to move forward from this diagnosis. xx

Thanks Lynne xx

Yes it has been a weekend of emotions. I'm still processing it all. I have kind of gone with right I need to adjust so how can I do that. I have been trying to look at all the aspects of my life and see what I need to do to get back on track.

I actually drove my car this weekend for the first time in 2 and a bit months. Didn't go far but at least I did it!! I walked to the shop with crutches, was to far and cried all the way home, but again at least I did it. And I now know a limit for now xxx

Hope you are ok and have had a nice weekend xx

Hi

How's you today?

I'm a bit rough today as we've been quite busy, hubby's birthday today but I've pushed myself too far!! Take care . Love and hugs Lynne xxxx

[Backbracelady in reply to Hidden]

Hi Lynne

Sorry to hear that you are rough today, I'm in a lot of widespread pain today, I didn't get much sleep last night so imagine that is why!!

I did manage 6 hours of straight work today which distracted me lol

Love to you xx
