Title: Help and advice update
Post by Callico on Oct 10^th, 2009 at 12:30pm

I posted the following on the other thread, but couldn't figure out how to change the heading, so I thought I would repost it here to be sure it was seen. I really appreciate the help.

Thanks for the input and the concern. Just got back from the Neuro's office and the test. He found a couple of muscles that were not responding correctly, but no nerve probs. We took another look at the MRI of the Cervical Spine and there are a couple of small bulges that are slightly squeezing the nerves at C5 and between C6-7. He feels that I aggravated the nerves a few weeks ago when I dove out of the bed to try and get my O2. (It's what I get for taking a nap)

Long story short, I'm to do some therapy and an anti-inflammatory for the next three weeks and go back to see him. He thinks things will settle down and return to normal (as if I ever was!) in a couple of weeks. Hope he's right!

A nap is something I don't plan to do again any time soon!

Glad to hear that it is something manageable!

Naps are something that I flat won't do - haven't done it in many years because I know I'll get hit.

Awww, Jerry. You're normal. Everybody else is screwed up....at least that's the way I view the world ;D. Helps to keep me sane if you know what I mean.

Hopefully the meds and therapy will do the trick.

Naps....one of my favorite four letter words when not in cycle. :o
