I would first like to let you know this happened in 2001-2002 so there are no legalaties involved just a lot of unanswered questions. I would like you to read my entry on 3-30 and i would like an opinion on the severity or not of the findings also i would like to add that the neurosurgeon said that when he did surgery the injury was consistant with the mri findings. When I mention the heart attack chest pains that were diagnosed anxiety I didnt have enough lines to add that they only happened after I would move my head the wrong way or lift my arms to high or laugh, sometimes I would sneeze or cough and it would happen. I am overweight but im very active and on days that the burning pain is severe I still make myself get up and do all the things I need to because it does kinda take away from it. My problem is the neurosurgeon told my doctor im fine he did my surgery I shouldnt be having any more problems because it was a success. I am a single mom and I dont have good insurance so I dont know what kind of dr. can help me or will be willing to help based on my ins. I still have the curling of my hand, burning patches that come and go but the worst and most consistant place is on my left hand and part of my forearm. the hot water pouring sensation is all over my body upper back and my legs are the worst. I have so much pressure in my legs and they always feel bruised. If I had a dollar for all the times I have run into things and fallen I could be very rich. I have to keep training pads on the floor next to my bed bacause when I wake up I have to slide off and stand there because the pain in my rt leg is so much that I cant walk for a few mins. that is all i can think of if you could please give me an opinion.
