Well, I'm home again.
Spent five more days in the hospital...
I don't have spinal cord damage, compression, or other problems related to my lower back disc problems.
However, I do have something seriously enough wrong that I occasionally lose the feeling in my right leg and on rare occasions can't urinate. (at all).
I'm following up with a neurologist, a neurosurgeon, and a urologist.
The neurosurgeon has ruled out surgery for almost everything....the neurologist is unsure but wants to run more tests, and the urologist is involved due to the bladder problems.
All I know is that I get to spend the next month getting tested, poked, prodded, MRI in the brain (already had the entire spine done) and who knows what else in an attempt to find out what's wrong with me.
I'm scared as lots of possiblities are ruled out...others come up that scare me more. Spine surgery is out definately out (Good news)...MS is a distinct but remote possibility. (*BAD* News).

Hey cuttie. I'm here for ya (i know i'm not near you. But close with the internet :))

Glad to hear that the spine surgery is out, and look forward to hearing more about what the doctors discover.
Be strong. While this process may be pretty scary, if they can determine what it may be hopefully they will be able to treat it so that you can then go forward.
Take care *hugs*
Sorry to hear about your recent medical woes. :-(
I understand that its hard because you don't know much of what is going on. Hopefully you will soon have a diagnosis of the situation so you can plan a route of therapy. All the best. HUGS.
