Follow up on leg pain -- Spinal Surgery?
Thanks to all who suggested I see an ortho to rule out spine issues. Turns out that at L4/L5 I have pretty severe spinal stenosis. The ortho thinks surgery is my best option, as other options would give me short lived or incomplete relief. I'm inclined to agree, since I'm still fairly young (64) and

Wondering…
Just wondering if these mouth sores ( have three, and now I have a cold sore on the outside top lip where the sore are inside my lip that is not painful or the usual tingling feeling you get with a cold sore), a sign that my immune system is acting up? Wouldn’t Plaquenil stop this from happening? Been

Sunday Lunches
My sister lives abroad and comes over to the UK each year for our summer months. Last year with all that was going on only stayed 4/5wks in case Barbados put the UK on their no entry list etc. I was fine meeting her at our favourite restaurants for Sunday lunch and/or even additional mid week, as

Hi I'm thinking of having spinal cord stimulation can anyone who has had it tell me your experience?
Hi I've been suffering with lower back problems & sever pain for years and it's making my life a misery. All the painkillers I'm on are not helping anymore. I've had 2 set of spinal injections and epdurals, the last lot was last year November since then my pain is even worst. I'm in absolute agony everyday

Anterior Spinal Fusion means I can no longer sit upright due to severe pain in my SI Joints/Sit bones. Anyone else had the same happen?
I had a 2 level (L4 /L5 & L5/S1) Posterior Fusion revised in 2017. Plus an additional Anterior Fusion at the same level. Now, 4 years later I am unable to sit upright. Not even in bed. Eating or movement in my lower abdomen also causes a great deal of pain in my SI Joints, groin, and thighs. I'd be

Shrinking??
Hello mighty warriors!! Just wondering if anyone who has mets to spine has lost their height?? I had spinal surgery in August of 2020 due to a tumor that was crushing two of my vertebraes. My bones were to weak for rods so the dr basically removed the tumor and the crushed bones. I have to wear a brace

Saw cat scan of lungs for the first time, but not sure how to interpret them.
Yesterday, I saw my chest cat scan for the first time. I was at a consultation with a neurosurgeon regarding a spinal cord stimulator. My rheumatologist told me I had only some minor scarring in the bottom of my lungs when he cut my prednisone from 10 MG to 5 MG, but the cat scan did not look like minor

Neck and shoulder pain
I’ve had neck and shoulder pain that’s been getting worse over the past two years.

I feel I am progressing well the first 5 minutes I tend to feel tired quickly then it seems to clear and I can just keep going. Question is when to hit the tarmac as I have been running in the fields following spinal surgery July last year?

Critique My Supplement Stacking? Share Your Protocol?
Update: I can be such an idiot. I have not been diagnosed with PK. I have REM Sleep Behavior Disorder and my neurologist was kind enough to let me know PK is in my future (and/or LBD). My supplement list is intended to keep PK and LBD away (though truth be told my balance is not what it used to be, and

What dosage of calcium supplement is recommended when on prednisolone?
I'm on 7.5mg of prednisolone. At my rheumatologists appointment today I advised him that I wouldn't be taking up his recommendation of Alendronic Acid despite having a very small amount of osteoporosis in my lower lumber region. I advised him that I was taking Caltrate which has 600mg calcium/200 IU

Possible back surgery questions.
Soon I will be seeing a spinal surgeon for my lower back. Have any of you had spinal surgery while on prednisone? If so how much were you on? How long did it take to recover? Thanks My spinal injections are only lasting a few weeks now.

New here and need input from others with similar problems
Hi, my best doctors tell me spinal surgery will not help my back problems. I have dried out disc and significant osteoarthritis along with some spondolothesis. My treatment to date includes a Nevro spinal stimulator, 200 mg daily of Celebrex, and 50 mg 3x of pregabalin. I am encouraged to take deluxatine
