How do I find a Dr to listen. I had the ACDF surgery twice. First C5-6 was fused in 06 then on Aug 19 24 I had the second one. Not two weeks after I carried in a large comforter from car to house and not 30 minutes later I knew something was wrong. It has been horrible I have been falling asleep when I get up during the night to go to bathroom and fall off toilet 5 times and twice off kitchen chairs. I hit hard after falling off toilet this last time and hit the wall as I ducked my head down as I hit and I hit it right in the back of neck where cervical and thoracic meet. I haven’t been the same since. I had tremor/ vibrations before surgery and now I am having them again.C5-C6 and 6-7 are where surgery was. Last MRI showed the C6-7 foramina has moderate stenosis and before surgery it was severe. The MRI right after carrying comforter in showed Mild Stenosis, so it has gotten worse. I keep telling them and they keep acting like it’s nothing or giving me some medical term like it’s normal. Last week I had tremors so bad I couldn’t breathe. I am on oxygen and had to put it on and pulse ox was low and it wasn’t helping so I did an aerosol treatment with no help. It wasn’t helping very scary. I have no life! I can’t read a book or magazine I can’t crochet or work on diamond art no hobby’s without the screaming in my head and shaking starting. Idk if anyone else had all the noise in your head or ears ? I feel like it’s affecting my thyroid function. I was hypo for years but due to having Hashimoto and getting Botox for the pain in my neck my thyroid went hyper. It’s been awful. Now that I’m hypo again i can feel thyroid acting up and it is telling my brain or something it wants food all the time. I did read where C7 can affect thyroid since they are so close together. If I don’t eat the noise in my head gets worse and shaking as well till I do go out and eat. No Drs around here have heard of it and look at me like I’m nuts! I’m not I know what I feel and it’s been 3 long years. I can’t stand it. When I had surgery in Aug I was not given any restrictions nor put in a neck brace. When I said no restrictions he said absolutely not you can go back to your routine. In 06 my Dr had me in a neck brace for 6 weeks and took X-ray and said it wasn’t fusing so I had to stay in it another 6 weeks night and day plus I had restrictions. I figured since that was almost 20 years ago that something had changed and he said we don’t do neck braces anymore. I even explained I was in one for 12 weeks but it didn’t matter. All I want is this to stop and someone listen it’s been awful all the eating and shaking. It’s like I’m sleep walking and doing some crazy stuff in my sleep which I never done before. I’ve wrote enough or I would tell some of the stuff I’ve done. I’m wondering if anyone is from Ohio? I pray everyone is doing good now. I just want to find a Dr who will listen and I’ve been to so many I’m tied of looking for one. I am set to have Ablation in April. My neurologist did listen some cause I told him my legs are now swelling and I already done a blood flow test and came back ok so he said it has to be nerve related! Finally! It’s crazy what our spine can do to us that’s all I can say!
