Wow, Carole, that must have been horrific. Are you much better now, i hope, with the surgery and physical rehab? I sure hope so.
I have compression fractures on my S1 and L5, however, they did not offer to repair it. I just have to live with that pain, the curvature of my spine, left to right pelvic tilt and the arthritis, and it's been many years ago, never got any better.
I wish you the very best and really hope you feel much better. Have a good night.
Hugs, Marion

For caring, thanks. Test--couldn't see the screen, monitor, but from what they two were saying, neurosurgeon and the "therapist," the reading, score must have been terrible. What happened--In late Jan 04, I began having pain in my back, and felt a bump, lump while sitting down. Had gone with my mom and sister to another city. Mom had to move out of her mobile home. Stayed there helping mom move in, etc. Pain/discomfort seemed to be on my right hip in middle of bone.
Discomfort would ease when I stretched out my leg. When I finally saw the PA, he immediately he said "slipped disk." Place in my lumbar spine, vertebrae L5S1. Had an MRI as soon as possible. When I went back, PA just told me to walk. Well that didn't do any good, so I went to a neurosurgeon. One look at the MRI, and he said surgery, which was done Mar 04. Since I was moving here in May, had to have a PLIF, posterior interbody fusion, back surgery. After that, had rehab by a chiropractor. Had to fly here by self. David drove the U-Haul, and daughter drove with our dog.
Now you know my story. No more slipped disk. I have a chunk of titanium in me. No problem going thru airport security, now.

It did, Carole? How? I don't have the results yet and the doctor didn't even see me again, after the test. Just got a new appointment and that was it.
So, what's the problem, Carole? Would you please tell me? I am very curious.
Have a good night. Hugs, Marion

That's the test that diagnosed my nerve damage from the slipped disc, now many years ago. At one point, my leg burned. Your test did what it was supposed to do, find the problem.

I forgot to tell you that i had that electrical thing done on my legs and feet. Yeah, it hurt, sort off. But my 4 right toes did not hurt at all, but the right big toe hurt a lot. I begged her to stop, because it really hurt, of course she did not. Don't have the results yet and i don't remember what they called that test.
Some time ago, i had a test on my legs and feet with an ultrasound and they told me i had PAD, so i wonder why they wanted that electrical test. I hope they don't have to do that again.
Thanks for any information on that one. Have a good night. Hugs, Marion
