- I had adhesions for 2 Years before detection
- Diagnosed on November 1, 2004
- I have 3 Children
- I live in Columbia, South Carolina USA
my story is a bit different. I have Adhesive Arachnoiditis. that, in my case, is scar tissue growing in and encasing my spinal cord. this causes constant extreme pain with burning. my rt leg is numb without feeling. hot feels cold and vice versa. i frequently get pins and needles feelings in the entire leg. my lower rt and lft back hurt with a deep and extreme pain. also on the lft upper back, neck, shoulder, and arm to the elbow burn extensivley. my life is very painful and i am only 30 years old. all this started after i had a spinal fusion done on L5-S1 with 2 plates and 4 screws plus bone grafting. my original injury occured 2 months after i had turned 28. i have been dealing with pain since. These adhesions can not be operated on they are too wraped up around my spinal nerves. adhesions effect not only the patient but the family too. my 7 year old tells his friends his mommy has a broken back. and has become my personal little doctor. frequently telling me not to do this or that, he will do it instead. he is so sweet about it, but no 7 year old should have to act this way. he worries so much when i have to go to the doctor or have a procedure done. he is too small to worry like this. i am too young not to be able to play with him at soccer or to get down on the floor and roll around with him. my husbnd older children suffer too. for family outing are very difficult to plan (no idea when the pain will be to bad to get out) any way, i m not sure how this will help someone.maybe it will be to know you are not the only one who feels like this. =)blessed be and may your days be pain free!
