Managing Spine & multiple other Conditions

Unfortunately the medical community has turned into a money making business and neglecting patient care.
I too have numerous spinal issues starting with cervical and lumbar stenosis. Just had yearly MRI that now shows I have multiple hemangioma's throughout my spine.
Long Haul Covid, B12 & B3 (niacin) deficiency despite doing daily injections, along with pancreatic insufficiency, achalasia (esophageal disorder from swallowing to emptying into stomach.
Went to Mayo in Minnesota for 2 weeks of testing only to be told everything was inconclusive 🤷‍♀️.
We want help, we want to feel better but no one wants to oversee ALL the symptoms and find a solution.
It's frustrating, depressing, and disappointing.

So sorry that you can’t get answers. I feel that way too. I am now dealing w/probable Psoriatic arthritis which involves the trial/error approach. I had a lumbar fusion surgery going on 2 yrs ago. No improvement to my gait problem. Good luck and empathy for healing.
