About 4 months ago had a couple seizures. They wanted to do an mri so had to remove he spinal stimulator so I could get one. Had that surgery and nothing in the mri explained it. Been having lots of back pain that seemed to be getting worse so I went to my surgeon and he sent me for more mris and said I needed surgery do to some bad bone spurs, another badly bulged disc, and some bad narrowing of the nerve cannal in my spine. Went for surgery and he said when he got in there it was much worse then the mri showed and said if I would have waited much longer it could have paralyzed me. He also said it was a real bugger of an operation because of all the scar tissue from past surgerys. (6 of them). Came home after surgery and hadn't felt better in years just the day after surgery. Well that went to heck in a handbasket in two days. Pain came back with a vengeance and was probably worse then it ever had been before. I called the doctor and told him and he told me to get to the hospital immediately and had me report to the mri ward. he met me there personaly and waited till they were done and told me he needed to do emergency surgery imediatley. they wheeled me in and operated and he found a ruptured blood vessel and a huge hemotoma ( blood filling my spine canal). He repaired the rupture cleaned it out and put a drain in and kept me in the hospital 3 days to make sure it was all drained. Went home last night still a hurting puppy. Woke up this morning after 7 hours of sleep (most ive gotten in months) and I feel like a new man. Still some sciatic pain in my left leg and numbness but the right side is completely pain free and with pain meds the left side is basically not worth talking about. I can walk without a cane and that hasn't happened in months either. So maybe this time it will be over. I know I'm sure sick of hospital beds and surgery and CONSTIPATION!!
