Update (Sort Of)

Sun Dec 30, 2007, 10:34 AM
First off i wanna wish all fellow DA members a great 2008!

Just to update you all on the current situation, i had my X-Ray results back and everything was fine apart from the fact that i have 2 bones in my neck fused together, the doc thinks this should only affect mobility, he says its a genetic condition, my dad has something called Spondylosis (sp)!

Im waiting to get Physiotherapy soon!

Still haaving problems with my hand and lower arm when i use PC and other times too, yet most days i use the PC for just an hour or less :(

I am drinking way too much at the moment, i am well over the limit for daily consumption but to be honest it makes me happy! I can easily drink 2 bottles of wine or 6 cans of Cider, or even 6 glasses of bailys. my doc wants to lower my meds in a few months and im worried about a relapse, still not heard about CBT!

My shoulder has been not too bad and job is going ok at the moment, very busy over Xmas!

Ive not heard from VAA about course yet so have emailed them for info!

Peace im out!

Hm, not sure if I understand this doctor, the fusing of the bones could clearly be a cause of the problems in my mind... Anyway, good luck with it all. 6 glasses of Baileys sounds great, lol, I couldn't handle two bottles of wine though :D

I have Ankylosing Spondylosis in my upper spine, and I can tell you right now that it affects a whole lot more than just mobility... stupid doctor... grrr!

2 fused bones in the neck can cause problems in the shoulder - especially if you are sitting concentrating on a computer screen for longish periods. Pinching of the nerve spaces between the neck and shoulder can cause pain and numbness in the arms too.

Maybe if you buy one of those soft neck collars, and wear it when you use the computer, it might allow you to do it for longer periods? Worth a try, and it will certainly isolate whether your neck is the root cause of the problems you are having with your arm and shoulder. It's cheap too... lol!

i know you mean well but with you saying this and the doctor( the one that has moved things along for me X-ray, Physio etc etc) it makes it hard for me, i cant just go down there and say "someone on the internet said this and that" :(

see what i mean :(

Hahaha! Don't be shy with your doctors - let them know exactly what you think - including that you have done some research on the internet about your condition, and you have some suggestions of your own that they might like to consider. Doctors are not gods - even though they might like to think so... they can't always think of everything, and sometimes need a push to think a bit outside the circle when diagnosing an illness or injury. It's YOUR body that we are talking about here, and YOU live in it every day - the doctor can only go by what symptoms he/she has been told you have, and a few x-rays and possibly other imaging, blood tests, etc - not an easy job for sure - and they CAN be wrong... never forget that...
