Thank you so much for sharing all of that — I’m really sorry you’ve been through so much. I haven’t had my entire spine looked at yet, only my cervical area, so I don’t have a full picture of what’s going on. I also have hip dysplasia, and I’ve been dealing with a lot of symptoms that don’t seem to have one clear source yet.

My current symptoms include:
• Worsening neck pain and stiffness
• Upper back and shoulder pain
• Numbness/tingling and burning sensations
• Weakness and heaviness in my arms and legs
• Balance issues and feeling unsteady
• Bladder changes and pelvic floor issues
• GI issues
• Headaches
• Swollen glands, circulation issues (Raynaud’s), and other autonomic symptoms
• Fatigue and feeling “off”
• And I’m extremely hypersensitive to medications and even touch, which makes symptom management really challenging

I’m still trying to figure out whether these symptoms are coming from my spine, nerves, or a combination of things. Hoping to get the rest of my spine evaluated soon so I can finally get some answers.
