I am 43years old and had my first surgery in 1978 when 2 harrington rods were implanted, but in 1982 I had to have the top one taken out due to pain, and scar tissue growing over the rod. Now 27 years later, I am on ms contin(morphine) and zanaflex (muscle relaxers) and msir (liquid morphine) for break through pain. I am still working and trying to have a somewhat normal life, but that is almost impossible. I am in constant pain and no quality of life!!!
I have been to neurosrgeons and there is nothing they can do, and I have even spoken to the dr that originally did my surgery and he told me there was nothing to do either, I never knew when I had this done that there would be so many problems later. I have tried chriopractors and physical trerapy and that did not help. If I do any walking, grocery shopping, or even walking in my house or yard, my legs go numb and burn. There are days that I just want to stay in bed and cry, I am still young and I feel as if I am 80!! I have been told I do have the back of an 80 year old. I now have a handicapp sticker in my car, so I can get the good parking places like the old people......... PLEASE HELP ME AND TELL ME WHERE TO GO AND WHAT TO DO.....................................
