Been having some BS Health issues. I can't get into much detail cuz I might get sued due to HIPAA laws. LOL But anyway here is the rundown. I had a spinal fusion about 4 years ago, ever since then I have been dealing with this neuropathy BS all over my body (Skin feels like I have a 3rd degree sunburn 24/7), then somehow I managed to break my ankle, tear my achilles tendon, and collapse the arch in my foot. My ankle doc won't operate until the neurologist is done with all of his testing. I have one more test with the neurologist monday for them to remove a nerve from my good foot and send it off for testing. So in the past 3 weeks, I have had 2 MRI's 1 CT scan, 1 spinal tap (Not the band), 1 EMG, and 89,000 vials of blood taken and still no damn results except that it has finally been confirmed that my neuropathy is not in my had and it is real.

They call me "Mr. Glass"

I have had this back problem since about 15 so I know what you mean by living with the pain. I finally had to have the back surgery because I couldn't work 4 hours without straight and have a straight back. As for the upcoming ankle surgery I am gonna do that in late September so I can get some motorcycle riding time in this summer before I am laid up for 4 months.

I will ba back playing, but with out a Mic and headphones for a while, My girls borrowed them and then left them out for the puppies to get a hold of. LOL

I was looking at different posts and came across the member's post "Count". I know what you're living and I think you're positive. Since I come on the DR forum and see what some members live, I feel less alone in my health problems. Despite all this, life goes on, the glass of water can be half empty or half full, which makes all the difference.
