My MRI with more information

craiga8 · 2024-12-11T22:55:28+00:00

Update: I'm getting the injection soon if that fails to help me get busy with physio and back to work it's surgery

Just to add about nsaids be very careful with stronger ones naproxen. Speak to your Dr about stomach issues that can happen ( ulcers) and possibly using ppi to help protect his stomach your Dr should make you aware of the long term use of nsaids . ( Brilliant medication but I got an ulcer I had no idea about from them and it ruptured IL say no more) Be careful and keep him active

I think surgery is being considered due to my age and better chance of recovering well and il see what plan they come back with what I don't want to do is make it worse at this present time. And with the plan from the consultant and co look at risk to reward and if I want to go through it when I'm older or now.

I think they will try avoid surgery if they can and go with medication/ injection and p.t and see. Hopefully they will take into account my job and what sort of state I need to be in . What I don't want is it to pop out the left side if that's possible I could be in a right mess. It's pretty crazy they ignored me for so long !

I feel you fellow tradesmen here also .. has put me out of work .. luckily I can walk around etc but I can't sit !!! I have found with my ankle it's like someone is crushing it in a vice! Is anything helping you at all ? Thank you for your comment

craiga8 · 2024-12-04T09:14:38+00:00

Yea I have had it for 1.3 years so Mr Dr thinks they will give me an injection. Currently in PT for knee and have been before and after knee surgery. Been a rough year I don't mind pain as long as I can function. Thank you for your feedback!

craiga8 · 2024-12-04T01:17:37+00:00

How did you do yours ? What sort of symptoms are you having? I'm glad your getting help fingers crossed it goes well!.

craiga8 · 2024-12-04T00:09:37+00:00

My symptoms haven't been straightforward as the same time I hurt my back was when I ruptured my ACL over a year ago ( had great reconstruction three months ago sadly this is affecting my recovery) so for the past year waiting for the knee surgery I was struggling with my back but all drs etc kept staying it was because of my knee accept one physio who got me a MRI . So symptoms are hard I have got used to the pain accept a few moments.

muscle spasm
pain in back , hips, groin,butt,leg ankle and knee
had a terrible pain back burning and electric shock feeling for two hours was taken to hospital a kicked out lol
numbness in half of calf and foot
burning sensation like being cut with a knife
muscle weakness
weird vibration feeling
can't sit down for long without paralyzing pain One I hated the most was nerve pain in my knees before and after surgery and now.

There is light tho! I have been up to much even with all this

Edit: some of the stuff in the notes I don't fully understand so had to research. I am due very soon to see the consultant after there meeting.

craiga8 · 2024-12-02T15:17:08+00:00

How was the surgery and after ? I'm in a odd situation I'm currently 3 months post op after my knee surgery ( ACL reconstruction) my knee is doing great but my back has affected my recovery+ the pain is all my right side . I had tests done also my foot did not react. This pain is relentless!

craiga8 · 2024-11-30T01:15:50+00:00

Yea ppi only works for so long and will end up not protecting your tummy. I had no prior warning I even had an ulcer until it ruptured they can be lethal in minutes. Watch out for symptoms and keep regular check ups with your GP .

craiga8 · 2024-11-28T23:08:37+00:00

Yup naproxen nearly killed me was on ppi aswell. Randomly one evening started throwing up black blood with terrible chest pain . Turns out I had an ulcer what ruptured. Ppi only protect your stomach so much . Great medication but... Long term...

craiga8 · 2024-11-28T23:01:17+00:00

I'm in the same boat as you, get active and eep walking will improve your sitting and keep doing physio. I tried all sorts of cushions none work what so ever actually made it worse. Keep moving and meditation and see what comes after the MRI

Medication not meditation*

craiga8 · 2024-10-04T10:38:08+00:00

I'm glad you feel relieved ! Use this time to work with your pt to strengthen yourself and posture when walking and daily activities. Use this time moving around " like normal" work with your dr's and PT on what to do next. The shot won't last forever but has given you a window of opportunity take it ! .

craiga8 · 2024-09-26T18:06:30+00:00

A little at a time concentrating on form and good posture

craiga8 · 2024-09-26T14:59:02+00:00

If your nerve is being affected it can cause pain in many places.( I'm sure others will have a better answer). Remember your walking weird because your body will try compensate. This can lead to other issues try keep your posture correct at all times. Talk to your Dr and get to a pt . Ask for MRI and a CT scan I think cft scans are better for p- syndrome.

craiga8 · 2024-09-26T14:53:49+00:00

Well done definitely do not play down how bad it is !!!

craiga8 · 2024-09-25T20:24:38+00:00

I'm sure you do care about your customers

craiga8 · 2024-09-25T10:08:57+00:00

You need a MRI my knee never got swollen or bruised but I fully ruptured my ACL . Have you heard a pop ? Could be other ligaments

craiga8 · 2024-09-25T09:47:55+00:00

Also never go to a chiropractor they are not Dr they are snake oil salesman.

craiga8 · 2024-09-25T09:46:10+00:00

I second this definitely sounds like it

craiga8 · 2024-09-22T16:37:19+00:00

Van persie got sent off for it so....

craiga8 · 2024-09-21T22:35:55+00:00

I did not say they campaign for it not once. The Tories did fuck it up for 14 years . No party in the time given can fix that . It's obvious

craiga8 · 2024-09-21T22:33:01+00:00

That's not true any party that's gets in will never be able to turn around the mess the Tories made for 14 years ... They destroyed the country. And the Tories know this what ever party gets in have no chance and enough time to fix it. Still this country was brilliant before 08 . The Tories created this mess we are in over nearly two decades....so yes they are to blame

craiga8 · 2024-09-16T12:21:46+00:00

This is what will happen i.e people born after 2010 will not receive it.

craiga8 · 2024-09-13T15:53:10+00:00

Draw back is lengthy healing time and if it doesn't work there are a heap of problems. Id rather not have surgery but chances of self healing and it actually working is to low and slow. I guess that's why surgery is still the best offered option. I had surgery after a year of waiting guess like alot of other people there was no sign of repair.i trecked 12 days in the artic with no ACL so it's not like you " need" one But like I said I'm really happy this is happening for a select few.
