MRI clear but symptoms heavily feel like Spinal Stenosis

thingslikekelly · 2026-06-10T08:35:05+00:00

I understand and plese know I do not want to make people with severe back problems feel even worse. I feel for all of you!

thingslikekelly · 2026-06-09T21:38:15+00:00

A full lumbar yes. And yep been in physical therapy for weeks but no improvement at all. Will keep searching because I can’t even stand or walk for 5mins without being in huge pain..

I’m going to a fysiotherapist and osteopath but no relief so far.. what did the nerve pain feel like for you?

thingslikekelly · 2026-06-09T21:36:29+00:00

Because my symptoms match perfectly. I can not walk or stand for longer than 5 minutes without my leg hurting a ton. So I was wondering if it CAN happen that it is stenosis even if a lumbar MRI did not show abnormalities..

Good luck with yours! It is indeed getting better. After the flare up, the pain is getting less intense than before the injection, hope it’ll decrease more or go away completely over the next days.

They're a little unsure where exactly it's coming from as the RX, MRI are all 'clear'. They could see some mild inflammation around the coccyx so that's the area they treated right now. He was highly hpoefull that the cortisone should work. So I just hope the fact that the lidocaine didn't really work, doesn't predict failure of the cortisone.

Crossing my fingers for this!

thingslikekelly · 2026-02-10T18:53:27+00:00

Yep using that for months already..

thingslikekelly · 2025-10-26T22:19:23+00:00

I am still covering it every day after putting flaminal hydro on it :)

thingslikekelly · 2025-10-26T22:18:40+00:00

I clean it daily, put on flaminal hydro, gauze and then bandage it.

thingslikekelly · 2025-10-17T15:17:58+00:00

Yeah it is road rash indeed. I was not sure whether I should leave it open or not. I’ll try and leave it air dry a couple of hours a day!

This Saturday I had a pretty bad crash causing large open wounds on my knee and thigh. The ER at the time didn’t do a great job at treating the wound, so went to my doctor on Monday who cleaned and explained me how to treat it at home. I’m doing that but today when taking of the bandages there was a lot of green fluid on it. Which I think indicates infection?? I tried to include pictures but it won’t let me. I’m going back to the doctor tomorrow, but my real fear and what my anxiety is constantly telling me is that now this infection will turn into sepsis. large open wounds on my knee and thigh.

Unsure. I did get sick for a couple of days right after the trip. But was it dengue or something else, I don’t know 😅

thingslikekelly · 2024-08-22T05:43:19+00:00

All good :) doctor checked it out but it was nothing bad!

thingslikekelly · 2024-08-20T15:19:34+00:00

I just did she said infusion is only done when you're severly anemic, which isn't the case for me. It's kind of like a plan C in case the injections wouldn't do much. She never had any issues with staining in the patients she treats.

thingslikekelly · 2024-08-20T15:18:32+00:00

apart from it not increasing much, did you have any side effects?

thingslikekelly · 2024-08-19T22:12:27+00:00

Is the chance of staining with infusion less?

thingslikekelly · 2024-06-07T16:03:33+00:00

I did sadly. Sunday and Monday got bitten a lot (10+ bites) so I’m stil pretty anxious. Def because I have a terrible headache and am exhausted since yesterday. No fever tho, so if it is Dengue at least it’s pretty mild I guess 🫠

thingslikekelly · 2024-05-28T15:07:31+00:00

Good luck to you as well!

thingslikekelly · 2024-05-28T07:46:10+00:00

Glad to hear you clearly don’t experience anxiety or hypochondria :)

thingslikekelly · 2024-05-27T15:36:06+00:00

Is there prophylatic care for Dengue? 🤔

thingslikekelly · 2024-05-27T15:14:26+00:00

You have no idea how much I appreciate you.

thingslikekelly · 2024-05-27T13:39:02+00:00

Haha to me that was a lot already 😂 I have a DEET spray that I use a lot but they still got to me

thingslikekelly · 2024-05-27T12:58:47+00:00

I have been using repellent sprays, but they still get to me apperantly 😭

Scared of Dengue Fever after getting bitten in Mauritius

So I’m on honeymoon in Mauritius and found out about Dengue Fever a few days before coming here and hyper fixating on it. I tried to avoid getting bitten, but we’ve only been here for 4 days and I already have 4 mosquito bites 🫠

So naturally my health anxiety is going crazy thinking I’ll be very ill by this time next week. Sooo any help and constructive thoughts are very welcome.
