  3. @the I agree, it's like when I refer to myself as an invertebrate (as my spine has more damaged disks than intact & fully functional ones by a factor of at least 2 to 1) and yes I've been told to "stop that", when it's a pretty close to reality of a joke.

    I'm not harming anyone in this & it's tiresome to get others trying to micromanage my choice in terms used for my medical conditions.

  8. What can be done for spinal stenosis?

    Attention! Consult a doctor! In severe cases, surgery may be necessary. The patient can benefit from exercise and weight loss.

  9. Causes of spinal stenosis

    The pain occurs due to a narrowing of the spinal canal through which the nerve passes. Changing your position may help.

  11. CW: Weather grumble

    In as much as I love the song "I love a rainy night", I in fact hate rainy nights, not just because of the roof leaks still not fixed & thusly that being a mess set, but for my spinal arthritis being agrivated by them & barometric pressure dives overall. #ChronicLife #SpinalStenosis #Poverty

  12. I'm feeling some pain tonight. Headache, pain from the spinal stenosis in my neck radiating into my left shoulder, fibro flare starting.

    I'm a mess.

  13. My mum had an appointment with a specialist today because she’s been having pain in her legs for years that has been getting worse and worse to the point where she can really only stand or walk for about 5 minutes at a time.

    She’s seen multiple specialists over the years. All have been useless. And blamed aging.

    When it first started I told her it sounded like nerve damage or a pinched nerve because I get sciatica and it sounded very similar.

    The specialist today looked at the MRI and instantly knew it was Spinal Stenosis (ie. the spinal cord is being pinched by a shifted vertebrae).

    He also said that the MRI from 2019 showed it as well, and quite obviously. When I asked him why it wasn’t picked up back then, all he could do was shrug.

    Anyway. If you don’t get the answer you’re looking for, don’t think that you have to put up with pain. You don’t. Just keep asking until someone does their job properly.

  14. #SpinalStenosis sucks. My right leg is increasingly numb; I'm losing feeling in my right foot and it's affecting my balance when walking. Back to the cane, I guess. I'm still hoping the recent RFA will help some because this is getting old. And so am I....

  15. I find I grieve my increasing disability more often and more intensely than my mortality. I have always been someone who acts on what they are thinking, not without question or regard, but without paranoia about how others might perceive it. (Naturally, this has led to a long string of misunderstandings). I miss agency. I miss action. I miss a lot sometimes.
