I have had 2 fusions and 2 rod removals and a 7 rib thoracoplasty.
These past few months my body has been talking to me again. Don't know if it is arthritis or symptoms of something new is happening to me. So i went to a local dr. that doesn't really specialize in Scoliosis and well I went for an MRI but still haven't seen him back yet to get the results. I have been thinking it over and I went with a specialist that was with my previous Dr. in Denver. They have my file there and I hope to get some sort of answer. I guess??
They scheduled me right away for this Thursday Nov 6th. My husband is going to be off of work and will go with me. I told him today that I made an appointment and he asked me a question that I didn't expect. He said "what do you hope to get from this appointment?"
After thinking about it I don't know. All I know is that I am worried, not feeling good, hurting in my breast bone and ribs on my right side, numbness in my right arm at times, and lower back and leg pains. I am sorry but I need to vent and get some words down and out. Because I don't know what they can do for me? Another surgery? I am at a loss and wondering if I should go or ignore it.
I am a wife, mother and I have young kids that need me and it is hard to take care of myself first. I push myself to much. I don't always use my knees when picking up something. I have all wood floors and when I have to sweep, mop and wax them it is a task. Without thinking I just do it even when I am in pain. I figure I can handle the pain but don't think about if there is consequences with causing problems in my back.
Sorry just rambling here and venting. Thank you to all that there is such a place to just let off some feelings even if there is really no solution. Just having a moment here.
