@debbie007 Hello, I have more than one medical issue with my spine, with scoliosis and disc issues. I did Nerve Conductivity Testing and EMG last year, and it was discovered I have Denervation in the Thoracic area (T12-L1) of my spine on the right side only.

Two things are happening; The muscles on the right side of my spine have actually gotten bigger (Hypertrophied) after this Denervation, which is the opposite of what usually happens. When losing a nerve's function, the muscles affected by that nerve usually get smaller (Atrophy). This has thrown the doctors off because this is not how it happens.

The second issue I have is called Radiculopothy, where the nerve pain wraps around my right side, and the flank and oblique muscles are constantly locked on my right side. This causes me pain from when I get up in the morning until I go to bed at night, every day, all day. The only relief is when I lay on my back, and 15 to 20 minutes later the muscles seem to calm down.

I've been searching for answers since July of 2023, so it is almost three years ago this started. I've been to every major hospital in my city, and I've seen 30 different medical professionals. No one can figure out what is happening with my back and side. I've had every type of image taken, every type of blood test done, all with no positive indications. I do not have Sciatica pain, no pain in my legs at all. I do not have several of the usual symptoms every doctor asks about, and this is making it more difficult to figure out. Most doctors give up after one visit because, as I've been told, "You're not textbook", or "You are unique".

So, my wife and I continue the search for someone that has heard of, seen, or had, the problems I have. I refuse to believe I'm the only person in the world this has, or is, happening to. Good luck, keep searching as long as you can.
