Hi, this is my first time on this site and it's reassuring to read that i'm not alone. Basically this is my story:
I had corrective surgery 9 years ago, inserting 2 rods and 14 bolts, i was 14 years old then. I didn't get any physio whatsoever after my surgery which i find totally bizarre, i 've been to see a chiropractor who says i need intensive treatment as the muscles in the left side of my back are completely dead. My GP disagrees with a chiropractor and says only a specialist surgeon should deal with my back.
Anyhow, about 3 weeks ago just sitting up out of bed i had a really sharp pain in the upper left of my back, close to a bolt. I thought it must be a trapped nerve/muscle or something and with a couple of days rest it seemed to ease. I couldn't move my head (especially down) and it hurt to move my left arm. Anyhow just leaning over to pick up my phone a couple of days later it went again.I was back to square 1. I was taken to hospital bla bla bla. My x-rays are fine, MRI and CT scan seems ok. Waiting on a bone density scan on the 14th.
I am in terrible pain surviving on Morphine patches and Diazapam because i am also getting muscle spasms.
Can anyone please give me some advice
Thanks
