You gave me a gut laugh. Thanks, I needed that, but it woke up my dog.
Please keep us posted, k?
Cath
~ October 21, 2008 - ACDF, 3-level (C4/5, 5/6 6/7), with hardware and eight screws. All fused and hardware is stable.
~ January 6, 2010 - TLIF at L4/5, two rods and four pedicle screws.
~ July 2010 - New CT and MRI on cervical shows further problems above fusion at C2/3 and worst at C3/4.
I am in no way affiliated with the medical profession. Any recommendations I make are based on my personal experiences only, so do not take my comments as medical rules.
Chemically induced stress tests scare me to death. I had to have one before my laminectomy in 2009 because I couldn't do the treadmill. They really aren't that bad, but I just don't like them. As for the cath to remove the deely-wooger, I just couldn't stop laughing, even though I don't have a clue what a deely-wooger might be.I wish you luck and prayers are with you.

the doc look at ta other fella in the room and goes m-hmm, m-hmm, looks at mine, goes....,...Thats interesting and rushes out the room.
Interesting?

My doc is extremely athletic and fit and he made me walk on the treadmill. ugh, gasp, sweat!!!
The following day I had a AAA ultrasound.
While they were doing the ultrasound, I noticed that I was really, REALLy sore from my sternum around and under my left breast almost to my side. I have no idea what caused this--it is not a cardiac pain, I think it is muscle or nerve pain-perhaps costochondritis?????
It is still really sore. Any ideas or suggestions???? Anyone??
For every minute you spend being angry, you lose 60 seconds of happiness.
did the chemical version of he stress test, pokey arm, poky arm..FAINTFEELINGFROMTHEPAIN... then a soothing "this is gonna feel like ya walked a little bit..uhhh ya.
I felt just like ide been in a car crash..literally.
the follow up is tday and will find out about results.
Out of control. my sternum to back pain is caused by an rib out of place and pushing where it doesnt need to be. good luck in finding a solution.
