Won't that be a wonderful day .....

Penny, you're not alone .... I'm a trekkie too, and I know Celia is also.
I saw that Scotty's ashes were blasted into space in a rocket last week. It was one of his wishes to go to The Final Frontier. What a nice idea.

I know this is a rather silly post but years ago, whilst watching Star Trek (OK, I'm a Trekkie, I can't help being daft!) Worf, the Klingon was badly injured and they built him a completely new spine! One day, they will be able to do just that! I'm going now so you can stop laughing!

Article very informative and easy enough for the lay person to read.
The back sure is a complicated part of the body.......every symptom seems to be related to another and each time I think

You know, I had something wierd happen to me recently. I re-injured my poor right shoulder 2 weeks ago. Even that, something wierd has happend - in re-dislocating it, I untrapped the nerve and can FEEL my hand all the way again!! Bet I'm babying it. Something to be happy about, I'm dancing - carefully. I hadn't felt it all the way in over 2 years (off & on, like a light switch but mostly off). Mostly the last three...

I have degerated disks from C- 5 to T - 1. Lately it hasn't been bothering me. My X- rays show calcium deposits which are pinching the nerve on the left side. Thus, my pain and numbness will go down my left arm. They can;t do nerve blocks because it's the spinal cord. There is, however , enough room for the spinal cord to fit. I'm back at physio now, so I'll see what they can do.

Kanutta, I forgot - I lost 30 lbs, which brought my weight back to normal, with the Reactive Hypoglycemic Diet. The research I did said any weight I could healthily take off would help take the stress off my spine, and have the muscles built back up. Exercise hurts, but it hurts if I don't, so I do it anyway. OUCH.

I also have the beginning of Spinal Stenosis, like you said - narrowing around the spinal...

I have heard the same thing from doctors too Julie
.
Degenerative discs is so common in the population, and for most people they don't cause pain, but then again for some they do.

I don't think they have found out why some of us develops painful symptoms and some don't. It must have something to do with individual anatomy. Some of us is born with a narrow foramen ( the opening where the spinal nerve passes...

Gee, wish my 2nd doctor read it - he saw the MRI show I have 5 herniated and degenerating Cervical discs, and he told me I have no reason to be in any pain at all!?

Guess why I quit seeing him. I also have 3 in my lumbar doing the same thing.

I found a new doctor, hope to have some relief soon.

I've been taking vitamins & minerals, water, trying to force nutrients back into the discs, trying to...

You must be a mind reader! I was just reading some informatin about back pain yesterday. Thinking we need more information about back problems. No matter what we have discussed before..which might be long, long time ago....I feel I never get to the bottom of spine problems. It is so hard to understand...I wish I could look into my back to find out what is the best to do today? To push myself? To walk longer today? To rest...
