@ethanmcconkey Thank you for placing me in the correct category. Before the back surgery I had sciatica and numbness in my left leg. I also had butt pain. I was pretty much bedridden. After the first surgery my left foot didn't land where my brain was expecting it to. The surgeon said it wasn't from surgery, the cause is higher up the spine. As months went by pain got worse. I went to Dr. #2 and he did a great job. The other day I met up with someone who also needed a second surgery. His #1 doc was my #2 doc. His #2 doc was my #1 doc. Interesting.My current PD symptoms include apathy, inertia, akinesia, tremors, dry eyes, rigid and/or curling toes/fingers, impaired balance, slow speech, handwriting changes,jerky gait, drooling, clumsy, muscle spasms, difficulty getting in and out of vehicles or getting up from a chair. BBS symptoms:I can stand up with no aids for about 3 minutes. If I lean on something like the kitchen counter or a grocery cart, I can stand longer. After 3 minutes of unassisted standing the muscles above my waist and the diaphragm go into spasms pulling my upper body forward, making it difficult to breathe. I've been complaining about this since January. The surgeon says it isn't from the surgery. PT couldn't help me. Muscle relaxants haven't helped, neither has alcohol (I was desperate one evening!) If I'm at home not using the walker, eventually I become stooped over as if I'm bowing. Tylenol with codeine puts me to sleep. When I'm asleep nothing hurts. Addictive drugs are not a satisfactory treatment. It's a shame that my legs are strong for walking but this syndrome prevents me from doing that.
