Monday 1-7-19 8:45 I go back to Granite State pain for my second round of Medial Branch Injections -
In November 19 TH i had C-2 ,C-3 and C-4 done to try to enable me to turn my head to the left , { I haven't been able to do this for years , } when I try to turn my head it just stops ,and if i force it to work it binds - then SNAPS and I get shooting pain up my neck clear to the top of my skull. They discovered that i have bone spurs called Kissing Ostophites where C-3 has one that look similar to a Hersey Kiss that is on bottom Right side of disk and then C-4 has one on top right side pointing up . I have told them for years that i have this sticking problem and when i force it to turn my head to left it is a BONE on BONE sound and feeling -- WELL now they know i was correct . these injections are suppose to lift up the disks so they don't hit { THIS IS THE PLAN } . So far the first injections didn't work= still pain , can't turn head to left - and pain in left side of neck that travels down my neck left side and then down back to shoulder blade. so lifting C-2,3,4, din't do the trick C 5 6 and maybe 7 might do it BUT if it doesn't surgery would be next option - I am an 80% risk factor just walking into the office, so it would take ALL of what I call my top 7 heavy hitters . These are the doc's that talk all the time and they ALL would have to go along with it what i think from past experiences this wouldn't happen, I have had doc's try less evasive procedures tried and 2 of the Doc's Stopped them dead in their tracks and my Rheumy who sent me to this other specialist was the very one that said NO immediately . So I don't see that happening at this point anyways. So fingers = legs = ears = eye's and thoughts crossed that this procedure tomorrow works. Has any one else had or know of anyone that has Kissing Osteophites and maybe what they did or didn't do ?? Any idea's would help .Doc did mention Therapy BUT i am in Therapy now for left elbow and when i bounced the neck deal to him he just said he wouldn't see it helping that because of the bone on bone .0 we aren't done yet my toe is swelling up , Right big toe and we have no idea why , it just gives out when i am walking and i just about did a nose dive when this happens -we are still working on that , they just did x rays but no breaks or sprang -we were going to try tapping big toe to adjoining toe but my orthotic's won't allow that because each toe has a spot in the orthotic so one toe would be out of it's spot so when we discussed that ,that was the end of that idea so guess whats next -- you got it THERAPY !! I might as well get a bunk bed there ,my Therapist and i got a laugh about that , just move right in . I think i am like the Scare Crow in the " Wizard of OZ just parts of me going every where LOL !! Well any thought's out there . GOOD - BAD - FUNNY or INDIFFERENT ?? Thank's Casey and I
