Pain update...
« on: January 26, 2012, 05:44:09 PM »
Bloodwork is back, everything is normal. No autoimmune contributing to my inflamed spine. Wants me to go for spine xrays and then go see an orthopedist. I am still in pain but not like I was. It is as if someone has cranked a vertebrae off my spine so it feels tighter. Does that make any sense  <roflmao>

Glad to hear that the bloodwork is all fine. I hope the orthopedist can give you some help.

Yeah, but now I'm afraid it's from skating.

It flaired up while you were on a skating break tho, right?  Do you remember wrenching it or falling just before that?

Good news the blood work is fine and the pain is less.  Hope it continues to get better and goes away completely for you.  Good luck at the orthopedist.

Definately good news that the blood work is clear.

Remind me, did they do an MRI?

No MRI. CT scan. Yes, it flared up on the off season but that was not the first time it hurt. That's when it came to a head. Thinking back I've had pain for quite some time in my back, just not where THE pain was on break. Now the pain (not pain, feeling) goes up my whole spine. I'm wondering if it's just arthritis.

I think an MRI might provide better information.  I wouldn't be surprised if the ortho orders one.

Yeah, she seemed a bit befuddled.

Hopefully it's not from skating, but if it's, then you need to balance between the sport & your health. Take care of yourself, you have to little ones to take care of.   <hug>

Not just arthritis, Leslie.  That's nasty stuff!   I'm glad there's no autoimmune thing going on but sure wish you had some answers.  Good luck with the ortho and keep us posted.  Yoga to try to stretch it all out and strengthen the muscles (even more)?  IDK, just wish you felt better.

I wonder though, if it is inflamed, like swollen, should I be stretching it. I will try to get an ortho appt. soon.
