Herniated disc L6/7 and Protrusion C5/6 Causing Lft sided light headedness

by Usnae10, May 17, 2007 12:00AM
I ahve been having allot of headaches, sometimes just to the left side only. You can dram a line down the left side of the body and there is the pain area. I have a 5/6 all day. When I raise my hands over my head my blood flow slows. Left shoulder now has tendonitis.
In the middle of the night I wake up with tingling on my ring/pinky fingure depending on which ever one is up or down. Whn I am holding the phone I get the same thing.
I also just found out BOTH knees are shot! So that has made excersise hard. Swimming is the only thing I can do and I feel great in the pool, I combat side stroke and back stroke (occasionally) rescue swimmer back as well. I usually put in a mile in the pool ever day.
I am scared out of my wits and no one knows what is wrong with me. I know the C protrusions which is causing nueral canal narrowing (I don't have the report in front of me)
I have severe chest pains (not complete tear in pectorial muscle).
Basically every doctor I have seen is wondering why I am having the problems of a 70yr old women. I am 186 and haven't been able to excersise and don't know what to do. I am so scared and I am only 32 years old and I have a job that I have litterally givien my whole life to. What am I looking at?
