Jennifer,
Thankyou for all that information , what you said about the scoliosis causing movement with ribs and breathing changes makes sense, its been one thing after another with his body, very strange symptoms, difficult to know which causes what..
His pain is the difficult thing for him coping with, its constant and no ease.
Hes tried ibrofen, paracetamol, codine, co codamol, naproxen, none of which touch his pain.
Hes doing daily physio, cant manage much but it all must help, weve talked him into swimming twice a week, I say swimming he walks n moves n stretches in the water, its good exercise and im hoping this starts to help him..
His MRI shows an intervertebral disc tear L5 S1
As you say this is weight bearing and why standing and sitting for long periods is difficult for him, ive no idea if they will do anything for this or what they can do but its causing him so much pain daily, its so difficult for him to manage, im praying our wait to see the Manchester Spinal hospital will offer us some hope and help us get him better, hopefully our wait wont be too long, its a real battle to get these appointments, ive never been off the phone , luckily the lady ive been speaking with trying her best get us seen..
He has the heart check in Jan and im praying 🙏 thats clear and all ok..
We're on the right pathway of getting seen its been tough..
Thankyou for your replys, helps to talk and read others journeys
