Surgery Today!
I’m having
spinal
surgery
today in my neck. So glad it’s finally happening but rather nervous too. I have cervical stenosis and myelopathy so I’m hoping this operation will stop the progression of spinal cord damage 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻. Has anyone else had this happen.

Goitre and Spinal Surgery
I am awaiting Cervical
Spinal
Surgery
but also have a multinodular enlarged goitre. The spinals team says the goitre needs to come out first before they can get to the discs in my neck. It’s all a waiting game at the minute. I have a very high anaesthesia risk too.

Post spinal fusion surgery
2 weeks tomorrow after surgery to fuse 7 vertebrae after Prostate Cancer spread to my T 10. Radiation caused a compression fracture and weakness in nearby vertebrae. Just wondering if anyone else has had this done. Pain medication Palexia and Oxyndone have hardly impacted. Spinal surgeon says pain should

Bring on more sh*t
The universe has really given me a kick in the teeth this year, with
spinal
surgery
resulting in nerve damage in legs along with the RLS....I think the AF is caused by the amount of anxiety and stress I have had. Sometimes I wonder if it is worth waking up.....

Advice from you amazing ladies regarding adrenal fatigue whilst tapering.
I also had further
Spinal
canal
surgery
in March for degenerative spine issues and removal of a synovial cyst which was crushing my spinal cord. My surgeon said I would never be pain free but thankfully I am, during surgery I had a large skin tear on right proximal forearm when turned supine.

Following further (failed)
spinal
surgery
in 2020, I was referred back to another Lincolnshire PC (Connect Health). As they only operated via phone calls, I contacted the then CCB who kindly arranged for me to see a ‘Clinician’ at our GP surgery.

Finally got my Neurosurgeon appointment!
I have cervical myelopathy and
spinal
stenosis, with osteophytes pushing into my
spinal
cord.
Surgery
should be within the next 6-8 weeks. I’m currently taking Leflunomide and Hydroxychloroquine and spoke to the Rheumy nurse yesterday about whether I stop them for surgery.

anyone had a successful surgery with spinal cord or dorsal root ganglion stimulator surgery?
Hi - been suffering with pudendal pain due to sports for about 15 years. Has anyone tried spinal cord or dorsal root ganglion stimulators and was it successful? I’m so tired of this pain. I just want to live a normal life. I’m currently on 30mg of notriptyline to help with pain. Thank you

Spinal Fusion at 9 weeks
This is my scar at the 9 week mark after spinal fusion of 7 vertebrae. There are 2 rods and 12 screws in my back to help stabilise my vertebrae after prostate cancer caused a compression fracture. I have discontinued most of the pain medication. I dropped to a 5 microgram Norspan patch yesterday after

lab work 8 weeks post iron infusion - advice?
I had an infusion of Injectafer 750 mg on April 29 and had labs drawn exactly 8 weeks later per advice or information on this lifeline :) Now I would truly appreciate hearing some fellow RLS sufferers thoughts and advice on iron infusion and medications. I’m currently still symptomatic but much improved
