My issue

I've lived with chronic pain for the last 7 years. I broke my neck in a car accident when I was 16, had to have a C5-C6 fusion.

I have cervical stenosis; can this cause sciatica too? Doctor is currently trying to rule out.

I have fibromalgia which does not make this much easier, but with a good RA I have it under control. Over a year ago, I had difficulty and painful walking after getting out of bed. The osteo doc. ruled it as sciatica. After a month of steadily worsening pain, I was directed to a Spine Spec. He saw the lumbar mri and said it was mild stenosis and... Read more Chevron
