Crunch time!
I have just been diagnosed with degenerative hip problems, lordosis (excessive curvature of the lumbar spine), scoliosis of the lumbar spine, spina bifida occulta (hidden) and I have a 25-50% slip of my 5th lumbar vertebrae. All this is resulting in spinal fusion surgery in the new year which is major

Lithotripsy and Spinal Fusions
My name is Karen and I have a history of kidney stones. The last kidney stone was a 16 mm stone and took two lithotripsy's to break it up. I have also had a lumbar fusion L5 & S1 in 2001 and my latest x-ray showed a post surgical change in the Lumbosacral spine. This was noted from X-rays done between

Do I or don't I!
I had back surgery in 2008 and upper back surgery in 2010 and have been told I need a further back operation for
spinal
stenosis
. I also have had FM for some 10 years, so it is difficult to differentiate between where pain is actually coming from.

Back Spasms
Has anyone experienced continuous back spasms? No meds have helped to date. The next step is to try a spinal cord stimulator. Any one used this device and their experience?

Spinal cord stimulator
So I've been diagnosed with CRPS for the last year. This month I finally met with a consultant who wanted to get right now to treatment. I'd already tried most other treatments and was referred to a consultant at St Thomas London for a spinal cord stimulator. Despite many doctors being concerned that

My experience of acupuncture and massage.
I am on week 77 since referral to a consultant and have recently had a diagnosis of
stenosis
in my neck ( narrowing in
spinal
column ) Several months ago my plumber told me that his bad back had been cured by acupuncture. I decided to try it and booked an appointment.

New appointment for pain management
I had L5/S1 spinal fusion in March 2015. All of last year did not seem too bad, either that or I kept telling myself to give my back time to heal and that it would get better. This year I'm not so sure. I have been having sharp jabs in lower back that at times almost brings me to my knees, mostly

Back surgery update
I have spent the last two months agonizing over the need for back surgery weighed against my GCA and PMR.. I decided to go for it and had a spinal fusion along with a lamenectomy. It appears that it is successful...some bits of info that I learned as a result that may help someone else are....they
