Having problems with message search?
Hi Gwynne,
I am also new to this condition, I was diagnosed with MS on October 31, 2005, and then with Cevical Spondylosis Myelopathy on February 27th, 2006. My neurologist didn't go over any of the facts with me. I'm very lost. I do know that no one in my family ever had it and, I never had any trauma to my back that would've caused it, and there doesn't have to be trauma for it to start. I've been trying to do research on it but am coming up dry everytime. No one seems to be very helpful.
I'm only 21 years old, I've had the symptoms for several years. I'm getting to the point where I'm going to start demanding answers tests and whatever it takes to figure things out, I suggest you do the same, because after all we are the doctor's customers, and they are supposed to give us what we pay for ... help.
I was actually on Depro-Provera for a couple of years in my teens, let me know if you find
anything out involving that.
Hopefully you can get some answers from some of the people in the group. I just joined so I haven't started asking questions yet.

I am new to this condition and don't really know what to make of all of
this yet. I am only 29 and they tell me I have spondylosis and cerical
DJD with oseophyte complex from C4-C7 already. I've been in around the
clock pain since Feb. when a minor injury turned into a bigger one and
then this was diagnosed last week. What I'm wondering is at what point
does the "acute" pain stop? No amount of PT, massage, yoga,
chiropractic adjustments seems to help this. I'm just on constant pain
meds, Ansaid, and muscle relaxers.
I have been an ER/Critical care Veterinary Nurse for the last 10 years,
my job and CPR on a large dog is actually what started all this
nonsense,I'm also wondering if I should start accepting that I may
never be allowed to do that kind of work again? No one is even telling
me when I can expect the pain to calm down. Should I go for a surgical
consult about this now (haven't felt three of my fingers in 8 weeks!)
It's so hard to find other people with this condition, much less those
near my age, that I'd just like to get an idea of what I can expect
with this.
Also, by the way, no member of my family has or has ever had
spondylosis of any kind. There is a very high suspicion that I have it
because of 7 years on Depo-Provera injections that I was told were
safe. I'm seeing my MD to request a bone density scan tomorrow and
already have already consulted an attorney about this being related to
the drug. Any info you guys can give me will be a great help.
Thanks to all
