Heading out..

If you don't mind me asking a few questions...
Do you know what caused your problems? Mine was part genetics, part trauma (many hard dirt bike crashes) and repetitive motion. I have cervical spinal stenosis as well. it is bad enough that they are concerned I may develop bowel troubles...but my lumbar is worse, pain wise.
Has arthritis set in yet? Docs have told me that due to all the repetitive motion work I did that arthritis is just a tag along. When I seen a therapist for my lumbar stuff he told me that replacement discs are possible for me due to how bar the arthritis is. How many injections have you had so far? My docs are starting to get concerned about the overall amount of cortisone that I have gotten so far. Both hips, several lumbar epidurals and at least 5 shots in various spots of my shoulder.
If I had known then what I know now...:rofl::rofl: I would have went to college. Really wanted to be an engineer of sorts....:BangHead::BangHead:
I have spinal stenosis as well, I found out I was born with a birth defect in my neck the doctors call it a congenital abnormalitie I never did form a C6 or C7 disc in my neck, its just one solid bone. My thoracic spine is fused together from bone spurs but the degenerative disc disease caused that. The disc in my neck above the defect are degenerated and my lumbar disc are too. It does affect my bowels also. Hope it don't get bad enough for diapers.:lol:
