Hi: My name is Tom. I live in Alaska. I have spinal stenosis, orthroscopic surgery on my left knee, a humeral fracture, 3 wrist fusions on my left hand, neuropathy, and a right wrist replacement. and osteoarthritis. Please take note of this "you are the one that overseas your health care" read all you can and have a good source of information. and get a 2nd doctor to look over what the 1st one told you!

I have similar symptoms....It's a lot to adjust to. I'm very concerned about my recent neurological and rapid skeletal changes. I do not have medical support( a lot of experts who cannot diagnose or treat the problem)its just been almost a year and a half of testing...I had other symptoms( lungs, gastro)which have subsided, now this. I think I have an inflammatory component. The nerve thing is the worse but there is outside hope they can be regenerated, but as for the skeletal morphing, I guess not, it just gets progressively worse.

I am not handling this well.
