Meds after spinal fusion
My fusion was 11 weeks ago and I still need an occasional dose of my prescription medication. I have heard that otc meds such as aleve and ibuprofen can interfere with bone grafting, so I have been avoiding them. Surgeon said the otc's were okay to take at this point but I would rather wait until I

Am I over thinking?
It has been many years since my SAH ruptured suddenly & I had emergency coiling, followed by a stent fitted a year later. Although it was traumatic at the time, for both myself & my family, I have been extremely lucky as I survived the 50/50 prognosis & had no physical limitations. It did take a couple

I'm getting a Spinal Cord Stimulator in Two weeks.
Hi, I'm new here. In 2 weeks I get a permanent SCS implant, and am so excited . I had the 7 day trial application, and to my astonishment, was relatively pain free for the first time in 10 years. Are there any others here with the SCS? My other chronic illness is PMR, which I developed in 2013.

After almost 4 years of posting here I have found it most difficult to write this. My wonderful 57 year old brother Bob has entered Hospice 3 weeks ago. Unfortunately these last three months have been one setback after another. Emergency spinal surgery leaving him struggling to walk, a permanent indwelling

Long-lasting effects of VM
I was diagnosed with viral meningitis after a
spinal
tap
in 2006. Years after the infection, headaches would appear whenever something was wrong (sickness, flu, injury, etc.). Now I am finding the headaches to be more common when nothing is wrong and I am living my normal life.

The pain started three weeks previously but would come and go so he was taking OxyContin to get get a bit of relief. Unfortunately, over a period of two days his walking started to get bizzare

UPDATE AFTER MRA/MRI
The radiologist that read the MRI suggested a
spinal
tap
be done. I've seen this on TV and that's the last thing I want.
