Bobbie, are you incomplete or a complete injury? How many years post and on
what level C./4? Do you deal with pain? Mine is through the roof!
I am complete C 4,5,6,7 36 years post, I deal with my pain by limiting my
hours in the chair averaging 8 hrs per day and taking three different types
of pain meds - perkiest (sp) soma, Hydrocodone. I don't take then all at the
same time, I take different ones according to my pain level at the time and
of course the weather here in New Jersey. I also have a syrinx at C 5 that
is a worse pain than my scoliosis - sometimes.
Quite honestly I'm very tired of dealing with this quad crap and putting
up an "I'm OK front" to everybody but my husband. I don't get the flu shot
or breast exams or uro exams or any other preventive health exams because I
don't want to prolong my life as a quad. I'm grateful to you guys to talk to
and hear what you have to say. Happy New Year! ~ Bobbie
