So we had a great appointment at the specialist today...no miracles...yet..., and headway will take time and experimentation and yet, we got more information and clarity from this one visit than weve received from all of my doctors put together. Im on new meds and we need a new MRI to be able to have a better idea of just what it is were dealing with and to what extent. He also ordered a spinal steroidal nerve block and we discussed the possibility of having the equivalent of a tens unit inserted in my spine which would basically interrupt the pain receptors, stifling the urge that causes the pain...the other option is an intrathecal pain pump they insert in your abdomen and every 6 weeks they would inject it full of my meds...6 weeks worth...and it goes from the pump directly to my spine which is a very effective way of handling pain as you dont get the high to where you feel you cant function properly nor have a normal active life...heck Im only 50 but there are many days, more often than not, that my body feels 90. At any rate I didnt mean to ramble but I know many of you were concerned about me and I wanted to let you know how the appt went today. Thx everyone for your love and concern and for your prayers. You guys rock...and ARE my rock...God bless you all, my family and my friends
