Been happening since Jan 2018!

I have been numb from the waist down, lost control of my bladder (having to use adult diapers), very weak. I can't walk without a walker, and fall several times a week! The pain is very intense, and is very hard to deal with! All I am getting is neurotin 400mg,  and norco 5mg. I have been hospitalized 3 times, and been in rehab for 2 weeks they just keep letting me go without doing anything. I finally took it upon myself to schedule an appt. with a spine surgeon. But with the new tests, redoing the old tests, and waiting on him to review then it could take a month or longer!! I Don't know how much more of this I can take! Does anyone have any advise on what I should do, or what this could be?

I'm so sorry to hear of all you have been through!  It sounds like you are on the right track for getting help now- I'm sure you feel like you are at the end of your rope- but the best advice I can think to give you is just to keep going and pursuing help.  It might take some time and determination to get answers, but don't accept anything less and keep pushing until you get them.  Keep us updated on how you are doing!
