It's silly for me to be posting this as I have read nothing but positive remarks from everyone who has seen Dr. Hey. But, I have been in constant pain for 25 yrs. Several surgeries for scoli & neck. I mailed my films & photos to Dr. LaGrone apx a yr ago; he wrote back saying he thought I have flat-back to some degree. I have had to wait as both my Mom & Dad passed away within months of each other. Then my husband had a massive stroke and can no longer speak. I also have his mother in the house to watch over. Pain is severe enough to stop me from cooking or tending house properly. I have been in awe that so many other post speak of being in pain yet being so much more productive then I have these last couple of yrs. I am on medication, it helps greatly. Without it I could not cope.
I am having some moments of panic as the days click off. I leave in 9 days for my 1st appt. on the 11th of Oct. I guess mostly I just want to thank all of you that post regularly, share your information and encouragement. My current curves are 61.6 at the top & 66.1 at the bottom. I have an area between shoulders that never fused from 1983. My neck is a mess from top to bottom. I also now have problems in the sacrum area with bulging disc. I have pain in my right hip that runs down my leg to the sole of my feet, even my toes. In the neck where it hooks to your skull the pain runs right on up the back of my head to the top of my head. I pray that surgery will be available and scared that it will at the same time.
I don't post often, but truly thank those of you that do.
