yes, thank you. I am planning on seeing a neurologist this week to discuss <br />
back

I am glad. I was told that an earlier neurologist should have ordered a<br />
standing back X-Ray because that was the what was needed to see the<br />
compression. Best wishes!!<br />

Hello, I have seen ️My Nueroligist twice now, I had pains in both legs & arms since last fall.Had 2 cat scans, one of head & one of spine. I found out I have advanced Osteoarthritis in my neck and spine , slipped disk & compressed nerve. Also, vertigo(sinis-sistis).Everything happened at once @ 55 yrs!I see a medical specialists tomorrow. I start Aquafit for 12 weeks, I hour each week & waiting for physio.I contacted the Arthritis Society too, & they sent out a package along with form to fill out to get Physio free at the General Hospital in Rehab.I currently take Ibproven 400 mg & Gabapentin 100 mg. I am very sensitive to medication & the Gabapentin seems to be working good.I am on the Ibproven only for 2 weeks, after that, the doctor at Emergency said as needed .BUT, this thickens the blood & can cause clotting!!!I already have thick blood so, while in church yesterday, I spoke with my Paster's wife. She has MS & osteoarthritis in her spine too, she ended up off Ibproven because a very large blood clot formed in her upper leg, she almost died. She was a manager of a Health Food store in our area for years and is very knowledgeable. I am going to let the Specialist tomorrow know that I do not want to take Ibproven after this week is over & she suggested Jamison Collagen & Gluosamine, natural substances.Helps with pain.Also take an Aspirin when needed. The Gabapentin mg I take, the doctor is increasing me up to 300mg by the 3rd week. He said it goes up to 2400 mg.Because I have Sinusitis, my head causes pain in my arms and legs too, not only the Osteoarthritis. I get pressure in both ears from the Sinusitis but also pain occurred in the back of my head from the osteoarthritis in the neck. If I was not on the Gabapentin, I could not function everyday. I notice when I am within an hour from my next pain killer, the pain is already starting to be uncomfortable!I take out books from our local Library too & try to read as much as possible to help myself & others by my experiences!Take care❤️<br />
