Pain now or pain later
I'm 30 years old. I had corrective surgery for scoliosis and acute lateral shift when I was 13. I was reasonably fine until about 2 years ago where I started having severe pain in my hip. After over a year of tests and checks it seems that the facet joints at the base of my spinal fusion are rubbing

ESA stopped help, can they make me have a wheelchair!?
Hi , I have been denied ESA as they gave me 0 points on being able to mobilise more than 200 meters because the decision maker has decide that a wheelchair could be obtained through the nhs wheelchair service if required and the use of a wheelchair would enable me to mobilise more than 200 meters.

My First Day
This is my first day on this diet or healthy eating plan. I have recently had a spinal fusion so at the moment I can do core strengthening exercises only. Five years ago I lost 4 stone on a drink and eat diet and was more on the too skinny chart. Now, having little exercise and eating more, I need

Vitamin B12 and vitamin D3
Otherwise it's just '
spinal
stenosis
' which can be caused by multiple problems. Useless reports. Useless superficial garbage. The bottom line is nobody gives a flying.... meantime people continue to suffer not knowing why.

Numb and burning feet
Hi Everyone I had spinal surgery 7 years ago. All went well. Recently however I am experiencing numbness and burning in my right foot which at times has me in tears. I am finding it increasingly difficult to wear heels or wedges and for me trainers are for training!! I am fit and healthy and not diabetic

Stenosis question
This is probably a dumb question, but I know nothing on this subject so here goes: Is cervical
spinal
stenosis
completely different from subacute combined degeneration?

Thoughts on CRPS compensation
So I've had negligence upon negligence and then some more...! I originally fell down the stairs and broke my leg in 3 places. They put 6 screws in my leg. One was in the wrong place (but could be argued with that it was acceptable) the other was slightly too long - confirmed by CT scan, and needed replacing

Pain is my friend lol
Hi. I'm sure practically everyone on this site is suffering physically or emotionally. Or both lol. I'm hoping that this is my last spinal surgery in the lower back. I can't complain I've played competitive sports until I hit 49. So as soon as my back started when I was around 50. I was deeply concerned

Spinal Cord Stimulation for PD Pain
I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with electrical spinal cord stimulation for the treatment of pain related to PD. Meds have become ineffective and the pain disabling many days. I already have had dbs surgery so I figure at least I could keep some appliances running during a power outage

Quick recurrence, starting chemo regimen 2

. I ended up in the hospital again last week because I caught the flu and on top of last year's chemo I was seriously immune deficient. Home after three days.

PD and spinal cord stimulation
My husband has PD and arthritis with degenerative disk disease. He is currently doing a trial for a spinal cord stimulator. It is called Stimwave device. It seems to be helping with back pain. Has anyone had this procedure done?
