Hi everyone-- do any of you experience increased pain the longer you get up in
your chair? I used to be able to be up in my chair for about 14 hours, but now
after getting up- nerve type pain and back pain and pressure seems to grow
stronger as I'm up in my chair, at times it seems unbearable after just 5 hours
or so. It seems any loud sounds such as my wife calling for the dog or yelling
upstairs to someone goes right thru my lower gut area ( a painfull echo like
pain from loud noise ) I was diagnosed with a syrinx a few years after my
injury in 1997--it was in the c-6 injury area--a year and 4 months ago the
syrinx had spread a bit from c-6 to T-2. BUT I had not lost any function so
they did not want to do anything. Have any of you had any similar problems ? I
get worried about it getting worse and not being able to get put in or out of
bed. I have a supra-pubic catheter also----------any ideas or suggestions ?
thanks, Danny Hearn C-6 august 3rd car wreck.
