Ok I haven't posted in here in a long time. But here's what's happening ok. I've been dealing with severe pain and spasisty mainly on my left side. But the last 2 or 3 days I've actually have been getting shooting pain in my testicles as well. Now I can try ice packs on my spine no problem but not down there!! So what do the guys do for it???
Now on to the other issues at hand ok. So I've gotten to the point where most days if I'm up on my feet for more than 45 minutes to an hour trying to do stuff around the house I get these spasms that makes my left arm and leg jolt up in the air. And on top of that I have lost use of my left hand and arm. I have to pick it up and set it on the walker. Then I have to lift my leg up into bed because my muscles in it are just as bad. Now as I've said not always.
When I've been in the hospital and received the steroids I do get better for a while then I get stressed out or if I get to hot or over do it I'm right back to where I started. I know that I do need surgery for my spine gonna see the orthopedic surgeon this Wednesday. But the big question is what if they say that there's nothing that they can do for me?
I'm so discouraged at this point and it's so depressing living life like this. I've come to realize that if they can't fix my spine then I might have to consider going to a board and care or nursing home. But that's really the last thing I truly want. Now I used to be in better shape and at times could walk a long way now I can only make it around the inside of my house or the front porch. But along with the spasms my legs have become so weak I bearly can lift my legs into bed at times.
