Things going very wrong after Dynesys

[LC in UK]

Thanks for the input everyone, and that's a very pertinent point Mark about the static image. It doesn't always mean the compression stays as the picture shows, it can be better or worse I suppose?
Just so worried now that these "puppet legs" with knees that feel like there's no cartilage in them are there for good.
Can't take a full step forward, feels like somethings stopping my hip joints from moving. My feet are just plonking down and the word "spastic" really does describe my gait.
Just have to be patient I suppose and wait for these tests to be carried out.
I'd much rather face another decompression op, even if it is thoracic, than be told I have some inherited degenerative nerve condition and face a future on sticks.
Not aware of anyone in my immediate family with this disease so maybe it will turn out to be cord compression, never wanted cord compression so badly before!

Hi Mark,
I really do get it! FMS is what patients have when their MD"S lack the patience to actually work patients up for what seems like too many aches and pains! I may or may not have FMS. I do meet the criteria but I think almost anyone could. I don't really need a name for what I feel, I need a solution!
Anyway feel free to always do your very knowledgeble rambling! I get the sense you have dealt with someone being passed off as FMS before.
It is nice to know that you get exactly how I feel about the fact they now want to point at the FMS for every ache or pain I have.
Thanks for being here for all of us Mark!
