I had HO about 10 years ago and they treated me for one year and then ceased treatment. They did multiple bone scans over a two-year period and when I inquired about the possibility of this recurring a year or two ago, they told me that once it is treated in usually lies dormant. I guess it shows you that you get quite a few different opinions.
Eric, I would have to say you're pretty lucky. I take three different medications for spasms, calcium for osteopenia (BTW, I had a bone density scan done last year and it showed my density had increased) Ditropan for bladder spasms, an antacid and I consider myself lucky that I don't have to take medication for pain. I have nerve damage in my neck, but it's not to the point where I need to take narcotics. I'll keep my fingers crossed though. Quadius 13 years post C2 three quadriplegic incomplete
