Jaycie Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 Quick update, had a shitty weekend and strayed away from social interaction lest I turn into an angry monster due to pain. Anyway my doctor JUST called and pushed me to a different neurologist for the 8th, she's pretty annoyed the way the other place has been pushing me out. It's a little further into the East Valley but at least it's not in the city proper, going to in PHX is annoying from here. Really glad she's advocating so hard for me cause honestly at times I'm just an emotional mess about all this nonsense. I did talk to her about the medical card, she said the law is weird right now in a way that if I go that route she may not be able to give me anything else for the pain if it's not enough to really treat it. So I'm going to wait and both see how the election goes here (since it's up on the ballot to be legalized here anyway, though it'll be like a year before it goes into effect) and see what treatment I end up having through my specialist. For now she upped my dose of gabapentin and we're going to try high dose ibuprofen instead of staying on the narcotic since I was really wary of that.

Ms. Spam Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 My sister was just diagnosed with bursitis but they also think she has parkinsons. She's 41. I can't even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny Skywalker Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Brad had bursitis, rested and did some PT later. But Parkinson's. Shit. I'm sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms. Spam Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Thanks. She's had a palsy for a while so I don't think it's really parkinsons but they're just calling it that because most of the same symptoms are there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceheart Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I sure hope it's not really Parkinson's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceheart Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Necro BUMP! Man, Jaycie and I are health twins, we just did it in reverse. Now I have a herniated disc in my lower spine that's pinched off a whole pile of nerves and has made my life a living hell since December. I have a consult with a surgeon on the 29th. It's so bad my spine doctor is skipping right over the spinal injections and just handing me off to the surgeon right off the bat. But at least it's fixable! I insisted on going to PT when I entered the spine program hoping they would get me back in shape after three months laying on my back - my new therapist did his initial assessment, declared it all fibro pain, and told me he couldn't detect any pinched nerves and I definitely wouldn't need surgery! Just PT! I'm not going to ask to go back there post-surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUAJedi2 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Fingers crossed that the surgery brings you relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
