My journey with a T11 to L4 spinal fusion - 40 degree scoliosis curve

It's funny because in the last year I have had a vallcula cyst and epiglottis cyst removed but never considered any correlation.
I have had 2 GI doctors diagnose me with Achalasia and recommended surgery (Poems procedure), went to Mayo in Minnesota who said all my tests were inconclusive 🤷♀️.
I actually go in tomorrow morning to discuss my MRI results which now shows that I have multiple hemangioma's throughout my spine that were not there last year.
I honestly believe all my symptoms are due to some type of autoimmune disorder but no one wants to listen to the overall issues. It's really frustrating how patient care is nonexistent nowadays.
Thank you for your response
I've asked my ENT, Speech Therapist, spine specialist, neurosurgeon and my GI doctor if my esophageal issues could be related to my spinal degenerative disc disease and everyone said no.

Hi Cheryl46, I wonder if you would share with me about your experience having had a vallecula cyst removed? Did you go to the Mayo to have that done? If yes, who did the surgery and how was the recovery? Did you have symptoms with the cyst before you surgery and did the surgery help? All these questions, I am sorry but cysts in the vallecual are considered somewhat rare so I haven't yet found someone I could talk to about it all. I hope you see my message because your feedback would be so helpful to me.
I pray that your other issues with your spine have been dealt with and that you have received the care you need. Blessings & prayers, Claudia
