I went to see the Neurologist today and he said YEP C7 in my spine is buldging out and just dying to be operated on LOL hes not a surgeon so he's being honest and showed me the photos. Im done with *pain management* so Im meeting with a surgeon to go over the options. He said it i****ting the nerve on my right shoulder causing all the pain and probably defo contributing to the migraines. He said surgery would be good now while Im still young because its going to happen one way or another. Thank you everyone for your wonderful private messages... they mean a lot to me... I leave tommorro for hubbys motorcycle race and pray he does not get hurt... thank god we have a camper so I can just lay around and watch movies, read or sleep if I get in any pain. Im off to Disneyworld on Monday for the rest of the week so its going to be busy but Im going to take it SLOW. Hope all of you have a great weekend!!

hugs to all

Darc, Well I'm glad they figured out what's happening and can hopefully fix it!  Best of luck to your hubby, I used to go to the motorcycle races in San Diego and loved it, but I cringed every time they crashed - just like I do when I watch Nascar... lol!  I hope he has fun!  You're going to Disneyworld again???  GIRLLLLL!!!  You go to Disneyworld about as much as I used to go to Disneyland in California... lol!  Have a great time, wish I were goin!!!  Hugs!

Darcie,

I'm sorry and I'm glad. I'm so sorry that you've been hurting and that they spinal was such an ordeal. I'm sorry that there is a problem with C7 that will require a surgical solution, but I'm so glad that they were able to identify the problem and will be to address it. I'm glad that you've lost the weight so that your surgery will be safer and your recovery better. I'm glad that you will be able to accompany your husband on his race and go on to enjoy your trip to Disney.

Enjoy your trips and I look forward to hearing that you have found a solution and resolution to the painful difficulties you've been enduring.

Hugs,

Barb
