  • Paresthesia

    It's probably nothing, or else - it's something I must learn to live with. I had my neck fused in Nov 2011. and I think I am doing pretty good, going to Physical therapy, trying to turn my head. But the arm paresthesia comes and goes. And the leg & foot have it too- all tingly and pins & needles feeling. Today it's particularly annoying. I will ask the physical therapist for sugestions/ eval. Maybe I just slept wrong last night, I don't know. any suggestions? my regular doc just looks at me and smiles, I know he will refer me to the ortho doc. <sigh> thx for listening. Jamie in Tx
    57 years old.
    thoracic curve 68 degrees
    lumbar-sacral curve +/- 41 degrees
    Cspine C3- C7 fusion Nov. 2011 <done! success!!>, then scoli surgery T2- L4 or maybe to sacrum.
    Discogram/ myelogram pending. Surgery to be scheduled, maybe fall 2015. <scared but I know this is not going to get better>
    THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR SHARING EXPERIENCES AND KNOWLEDGE!

    i just want to empathize with you....
    i had paresthesia from Lyme disease...
    it was from an infectious disaease, not from surgery...
    but i know what it feels like...
    i hope the doctors have answers for you...
