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

When can I stop ms med
I had 2 lesions and had
spinal
tap
as well, and that's when they finally diagnosed me. Now, 8 years later, I recently had another MRI which says I have 35 lesions. Most of my symptoms are cognitive and I have chosen not to take anything else for my ms.

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

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?

Blood results
Hi there, I'm worried I had a blood test and all it showed up was high cholesterol, so went to see a nutritionist who told me I should get my thyroid tested too, so I did so expecting nothing to come back. Wrong, I tested positive for thyroglobulin antibodies! The rest were in normal range? Here's

Week 2 Run 1
I have completed the first run in the week 2 today and by the 3rd 90 second run I actually found myself enjoying it. Think I must have masochistic tendencies! My legs now feel like lead but I am particularly proud of myself as I had to take last week off as it was half term and it's only been 3 months

Muscle Relaxer?
I have PD and am currently taking Azilect, Ropinerole, and Carbidopa/levidopa. I am very active, but lifted a heavy object yesterday and have painful muscle spasms in my lower back. Can I take a muscle relaxer - Carisoprodol - which is leftover from a spinal fusion I had before going on PD meds?
