Oh helen, Im so sorry for your pain!!! I find it very hard to just sit back, do nothing and watch & wait for spinal nerves to be destroyed!! But that's what i have done. Havent gone to dr yet other than my regular pain dr. ( physical medicine & rehab). Heis not a physio as I think that some would maybe call him. He's a physiatrist that 50% of his practice is treating acute & chronic pain in order to help regain highest function. Do you take ketamine? I seriously can see or feel beginnings of aa affecting speech, the roof of my mouth & tongue are tingling, numb. Feet numb in varying degrees. Ive fallen to ground 4 times. 1000 almost falls like catch yourself on wall, bed, furniture etc. What I need info about if the aa is from L3 to tailbone how can it affect my mouth, heart, scalp, brain? Helen, please lets stay in touch. What did that £5000 neurologist say about arach, you? Sorry, dont mean to intrude just meant what tests did he do? Diagnosis? Treatment plan?
