My name is Rachel and I live in Saratoga Ca.I have written before but now like to update my life, pain management ,care of a 98 year old husband and my age of 93 with some of my health issues.I had a fusion and laminectomy on my spine about 15 years ago .About ten years after my surgery noticed difficulty stand-in up after sitting for a restaurant meal.I was dx with neuropathy plus osteoporosis and osteoarthritis.Took medication for my osteoporosis for years with pills later injections till I developed side effects.A year ago had surgery on a bulging disc on my back which was successful.I have had many epidurals for pain with no results,Now on Gabapentin 900mg daily which is helping with my neuropathy.I find a pillow under my legs seem to help at night I also take CBD drops on a low dosage at night.I am so glad I ended up seeing a neurologist .After blood work he suggested lowering the high dose of Gabapentin that was suggested by my dr after this last back surgery. My dose now seems to be right and I am less tired and have better balance.I am tx for arthritis pain in both knees.With cortisone shots for several years till my last injection that cause severe knee pain for two weeks.Now I have been told no more cortisone shots but getting another injection.Taking B12 daily also suggested by my neurologist .I will be starting a class ofTranscedental Meditation .You tub has an introduction give by Bob Roth and I suggest it is good for all of us.I know it will help me with daily stress issues.I hope it will help others too.
