I have all those same problems and I was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis. Theres is no cure it's Ur immune system attacking the joints down your spine and other joints throughout the body. Knees,wrists, fingers. It's chronic pain everyday I'm 26 and it's caused me severe depression and my doc gives me ZERO pain meds.

Hi louise so you made decision then . Mm athritus hips spube ect . Thats painful itself may be we have to learn to live with it . Disc floating dont get that did your mtmri say disc floatin id ask for another mri check for spondylitis xx

Do not trust physios. They have a regime of one size fits all. This does not help. Exercise can be destructive if the proprioceptors are not functioning correctly.
You are going to have to do research on: how muscles behave; how muscles know what they are doing; what spinal reflexes are. In the process of doing all this you need to investigate how micro-cramps affect muscle behaviour. A lot of work.
You are going to need to network with people in your local area to find out who are the effective healers. Healers are born with certain innate abilities. Doctors are trained and pass exams. This gives no measure of being able to heal. Something a good chiropractor and good Alexander Teacher will have.
There are yoga teachers who have a good knowledge of posture and yoga. Similarly there are T'ai Chi teachers with very good knowledge of posture.
John Smith..thank you..yes my other half said this morning..look at you...hips killing can't lift my legs at all now...its all confusing to me..what's happening to me...not one off all spine guys..or doctors.have told me different thing...it hurts to drive now...still no one seems to know what's wrong with other joints..well no one seems interested...thank you..

I am a 73 yr old American who wandered onto this page looking for information about having MRI's after fusion. I am 10 days after laminectomy of 2-5 and fusion of L4 and L5. I had stenosis and bulging discs and the beginning of spondy at L4 -5. So far I am recovering nicely. The kinds of pain I had before are gone and I have only wound pain and stiffness (4 hr operation, 8" incision.) I had been fairly healthy before but was 5'10" , about 185lbs and didn't notice for yrs as I shrunk to 5'8. I had the resources to pay for my own second reading of my MRI. I also consulted 2 surgeons, a neurosurgeon and an osteopath and asked them to tell me exactly what they would do. Their answers were somewhat different. My understanding is that 10s of thousands of lumbar fusions are done every year in the US and that it is much safer that cervical work. One can study statistics on mortality and morbidity of types of operations. I find that for me, research and learning tend to drive out fear. On the Internet one can find a number of sites where patients have evaluated their doctors. The evaluations are not professional and I don't know how much there is for UK doctors. I hope you find a very skilled surgeon.
Thanks counselor 1... I to had a 4 hour operation.few year ago for these discs..but ended up with more pain...after 2 year of could really of chopped my legs off.had a MRI.I begged for the scan was even going to pay myself..saw a neurosurgeon. who told me I've badly scaral damage and my worst disc was my L 5.4 disc which had moved forward.and it burst..and a big peace of disc stuff had come out and sitting on my s1 nerve...very pain full...oh and arthritis.. I was told only a operation would help..and would have it done in January.. that was end October.. Jan came went .so on..got to 2 week ago..and leg pain had eased..back was worse..I was confused..offered no advice or anything else...so went to my pre op day..said I'd what see...had physio..next day who told me I've a s ..shape spine...and in ward left hip..he had me lie on bed face down..pulled my leg out..few times..now in soooo much pain.think need advice what's wrong..I was told I'd a spine of a 65 year old 6 year ago.??? Feel drained..I'll most days..had l blood test.. came OK that was end of that..I feel most my adult life been in some pain with my back and just fobbed off....I am pleased your doing well after your operation..I haven't had a fusion.. think that's what should of had..I've 3 level..d. d. d...... need a good couple off doctors for good advice...need something..than you very much for your advice...louise
