I am thinking about switching to a new primary. There are a couple in my metro area that have specialized in hyper mobility issues. She was just someone that I have used for so long and was great....
The good news is that I finally have some answers about my tingling hands and feet. Due to my hyper mobility in my joints (or so my Dr thinks) my spine is not staying in place. I have attached my...
Hello straydog, It is more positional than anything. It starts out as tingling and starts to move up from my feet into my legs. In my feet/legs when it starts to go away, it gets really tight and...
Went back to my PCP today to discuss results and the NCS was perfectly normal. She basically told me that she doesn't want to order any other tests and to go see a neuro about my issues. In the same...
Hello everyone! Wednesday (7-25) my fiance got his C6-C7 disc replaced. It was a night in the hospital for both of us. His pain was almost all from incision but he had some awful puking going on. His...
Hi Lendi! Yes, I hate not knowing what is going on. Especially if it is something that could cause larger issues down the road. I have already met my deductible for the year so there really isn't any...
Thank you everyone for your responses! The tingling has been going on for some time and comes at the strangest times. Just sitting in a car I have had my Vit B levels checked and they are within...
They were checked about 6 weeks ago and everything besides my WBC and Vit D were off. WBC were high and Vit D was low. I have no back problems and am actually hypermobile in my joints. She said...
I went to my PCP yesterday to get my vitamin D levels checked because they were low last time and I have been on a supplement to help remedy that. Anyway, I mentioned that my hands and feet/legs...
My finace has about 1 month before his cervical disk replacement (or fusion if damage is too severe). The issue that we are facing right now is that he cannot sleep but maybe 3 hours on a good night...
I do have one small question. The medicine that I was prescribed to take for pain is oxycodone immediate release. With my other surgeries, it was always the oxy/acetaminophen pain meds. The doctor...
Just about a week post op. Surgery went very well. The tear in my ligament was larger than what the MRI showed. I am in a forearm splint until next Monday, but dealing pretty well. The stitches are...
I deal with low blood pressure and will sometimes pass out if I stand up too quickly. My fingers and toes/legs also go numb/tingly when I have my knees or elbows bent for too long. I think it is...
Surgery is set for June 12th. Pretty quick, but I am ok with that....
I moved my followup from June 13th to this afternoon. I did this about a week ago. This morning I got a call from my doctors asking why I didnt wait the 4-6 weeks like the doctor recommended. I think...
Thank you Alcie! Ill keep that in mind!...
I am well aware. But getting that across to him is another thing. The Dr is requiring him to take at least 6 weeks off. I think the 2 weeks is until he can actually start to do things other than sit...
You and me both, straydog. I am a little concerned that he wont be putting him into a collar after surgery. From what I am told, he is just going to have to be careful after for about 2 weeks. Is...
Quick update on my finaces surgery. He is just getting his cervical neck fixed right now because he wants to avoid a 3 level fusion. It turns out his spinal column is smaller than average so every...
After two months of dealing with a hand surgeon and trying to steroid shots (much to my dismay, but insurance requires them), it is looking like I will have to have at least a debridement done for my...
What are his symptoms?...
After what feels like an eternity (what was really only a week and a half) I finally got the approval for the MRI of my wrist from my insurance company! I have been in a brace for a possible torn...
Thank you so much! I get so impatient with these types of things. Depending on MRI findings, I think we are going straight to surgery because of how old the injury is and how quickly it has started...
Hello everyone. I am currently in the waiting period for an MRI of my wrist/hand to check for soft tissue damage from an old injury. However, since being placed in a brace the pain has been...
Thank you for the advice! I've had 2 knee surgeries and the mobility is a little different from a hand surgery. One thing I have noticed since wearing the wrist brace is that my hand hurts...
It was when it happened. He didnt get on his bike for a couple years after that. Then his dad forced him to ride again to "get over his fear." You can just about imagine how happy I am with his dad....
Update: Went for my follow up yesterday. My doctor thinks that it is a TFCC tear. Setting up an MRI to confirm. If it is, there is a surgery....
Everyone in my family and his doesn't agree with his extreme sports that he loves to take part in. I am stuck in a hard spot because I know how much he loves to ride his dirt bike. It is also his...
The doctor also told him would be able to get on his dirt bike a few months post-op. I've only had reconstructive surgery in my knee + an additional one 1 year later for debridement and I know how...
Oh! His symptoms for his neck right now are acute elbow pain and throbbing in his arm. As well as numbness and tingling in his hand. This is his dominate hand as well. He is barely getting any sleep....
Hello! My fiance is looking at a neck surgery (if the next round of shots are unsuccessful at helping his symptoms) where the surgeon would go in and replace his bulging discs with fake ones. All I...
I'm hoping its not that. It seems to be centered around my wrist/lower hand and I broke my 4th metacarpal near my knuckle. So who knows. Im just getting nervous for my doctors appointment because of...
A little background first. About 10 years ago I fell off a longboard doing 20-25 mph and caught myself with my hands. My wrist hurt for ~10 months after but I didnt have health insurance to get it...
