My Leg

[Back-out]

Lynette:

I believe that stress can cause scoliosis to worsen rapidly - I have been severely mentally abused (confirmed by two different counsellors - and they said it was worse than physical abuse), and through my marriage with my ex, my scoliosis rapidly went downhill. So I know there's no evidence, but I would swear on it that stresses in our lives cause our spinal curves to worsen very quickly. That's my belief and I'm sticking to it

Yes, you are SO right., Emotional abuse is far worse than physical.

Very sorry you know this first-hand, I wondered when you referred to your X's having dropped by (AFAIR) shortly after you returned from the hospital. Dropped by!

I'm even sorrier knowing this, that you had to experience that depressive withdrawal effect without expecting it. You and your children were more vulnerable.

You're really something, Lynette!

Finally spoke to the neurologist's nurse and she said that both my surgeon and the neurologist need to talk together to decide which procedural shot to use on my leg, and she was to call me back. However, I'm still waiting on the call. So hopefully she'll call me today.

In the meantime, an excellent famous hypnotist who lives in my area - Debbie Lane - who is also my friend, is going to do a session with me this morning to help relieve the pain in my leg - so fingers crossed

Thanks again to you all for your thoughtful kind words, those words go a long way for me, and touch my heart.

Good luck Lynnette. I'll be interested to hear if it helps. My thoughts are, that it's definitely possible.

hey Lynette
hope they figure out a pain tx that helps give you relief from that leg pain...maybe a block, something to kill a nerve that is carrying the pain...or an epidural in just the right place...whatever they decide on, fingers crossed and best wishes

Hey Lynette - I hope you had a good day and some success with the pain. Thinking of you and hope all is well.

[LynetteG]

My hypnosis session went fantastic, I'm actually walking without limping now. It was an amazing session.

[Radiogirl]

Wow Lynette!!! That is fantastic news and I applaud you for trying a more unconventional approach while the drs are trying to figure out what to do!!!

[JenniferG]

That's fantastic Lynette! You must be relieved and amazed!

[mbeckoff]

That is great news

Keep your head up. Later, you will reflect on this time and laugh it off.

I have to admit that being attacked by "rodente's" in the middle of the night while under heavy sedation would be a trying experience. This supposed femoral nerve issue will straighten it self out in the long run.

Things will only get better and better from now on.

Thank you Ed sooo much - you telling me that my femoral nerve issue will sort itself out has made me feel even more positive about it going away completely. So thank you for that.

[Vali]

Good to see you have made some progress on the leg pain. I have been having the same issue for about 6 weeks. I can honestly say that today was a good day. I hope you can sort it out quickly because if it is anything like i have experienced (sounds like it is), it has been a b..... nightmare! Best wishes Lyn.

[JenniferG]

Hope your improvement is continuing Lynette.

Good to hear you're making progress as well, Vali.

[LynetteG]

Vali - Have you had this femoral nerve pain since you're surgery? What have your doctors told you? Is it improving?
