Steve I'm curious, have you ever had a lumbar MRI? If so what were the results?

FYI - My spine surgeon did tell me that it would not be unusual with the amount of cervical issues I had and my spinal cord being "cpmpromised", it would not be unusual that my nerves could now be "hypersensative". Discomfort or pain that a normal person might not feel, someone like myself could.

Yes CP, I have. My lumbar is extremely healthy.(thank god). The discs are fat and juicy, no thinning or protrusions at all. My doc once said I have a lumbar of a 18 year old.

9/22/09 -Dr B opened me up to find a staph infection was eating my vertebrae causing ADR subsidence. Had to remove all 3 ADR's and convert to 3 level fusion. Mostly pain free 2 weeks post op.

9/20/10 - I think I jinxed myself. As soon as I told dr b and dr Sullivan I was doing well (on 6/1/10) I tanked and have experienced the return of pain. My neuro says the new pain is at t4.

Default lumbar good

Wow..sure wish I had your lumbar spine! I've had some odd symptoms in some private areas though had the lumbar pathology that seemed to be the cause of it.

It's great you got a good explanation of what's going on w/you and there a medication is helping w/symptoms. Thanks for sharing the information re your urologist's explanation!
