Spinal fusion complications post op that required operation 10ish days later. IM still having issues and starting my medical board out of the navy. I know I still have a lot of issues to deal with and I know my body tends to get worse with stress. Do you know of any stress lowering techniques or advice

Spinal Fusion
Hello I'm about to have a spinal fusion and was wondering if any other sclerry peeps have had the same and if your sclerry kicked off afterwards. I'm having a bone graft from my left hip and am worried it may weaken it as its the first of three. 😟

Spinal fusion L5-S1 for spondylolisthesis, pain worsening
Hi there, I had spinal fusion with instrumentation in Feb 2015 for grade 2 spondylolisthesis as all other avenues had been explored but to no avail. After a lengthy recovery things started to improve but then slowly worsened. Scans showed that excess bone had grown trapping a sciatic nerve which accounted

Raising money for Myelopathy
We speak to fellow sufferer and artist Margot Miller from Putney, Vermont. USA. Margot was diagnosed with myelopathy in August of 2007 at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville Fla. where she underwent four emergency spinal fusions. "I'd say I'm traumatized by them and that they happened without a second

Hypermobility Syndrome or EDS
I am new here and after seeing my rheumatologist for my RA, he diagnosed me with hypermobility syndrome too. I am just wondering what the difference between this and EDS is? How do I know which one I have? I have painful joints, fatigue and headaches, but I think that's just because of my RA. Thanks

Hypermobility of joints
Does anybody else with RA have hypermobility of their joints? I feel like a freak because I can bend my fingers in ways that apparently others cannot. I thought it was normal until my doc recently told me that not everybody can bend their fingers outwards the way I can. I have attached a pic from the

Feeling Guilty
My Husband was diagnosed with Picks Disease 9 months ago. I am still working full time and feel so guilty about it. I blame me for him talking to himself due to him being on his own. I cant afford to stop working due to husband not working for years due to lots of other health issues. Crohns Disease.

My Current Situation
Hello all. Over the past few months, I feel my health has taken a turn for the worse. Now I'm finding myself deciding if it's wort all the suffering, or if escaping it all is for the best.

Running with hypermobility and unstable ankles
Hi everyone, I'm a newbie to couch to 5k. I started last week and completed W2R1 today. I'm loving it! I started running to help me try and beat post natal depression. I'm so proud to have started. So far it's having a brilliant impact on my mental health and I can really feel a difference already

What to do?
I saw my Rheumy today. It seems she wants me to continue on Rituxan but also go back on MTX injections. I must admit I am torn. I delayed Rituxan for a month and it did not trigger a flare. My inflammation remains low but the pain and fatigue are still extreme. My range of motion is very limited. She
