I just heard from Dr. Ahmed. The MRI shows that I have Spinal Canal Stenosis. He said I could get a second opinion but he would not recommend SCS (Spinal Cord Stimulation) for me. It is possible to place the leads on my spine but continuing of narrowing of the canal will most likely occur. This would increase the chance of paralysis. Obviously, I told him I would not consider a second opinion when the best Dr. in Boston is telling me he would not perform this procedure.
I’m very disappointed in this outcome. I see Dr. Mao Friday to discuss other pain management alternatives. The spasms and pain have my life on hold. I see Dr. Lee Monday. They have got to come up with a plan to give me quality of life back. The spasms and pain control everything I do. The fact that ice has turned my life into a tail spin is incredible. There has to be something that can be done to stop this downward spiral. I’m open to all suggestions.
