Diagnosed with spinal stenosis, degenerative spine disease, cervival myelopathy. Osteoporosis - unable to do surgery to release cord compression at this time due to low bone density. How do people deal with the fact that paralysis is the soon end result.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

irisrose, go on medication and have the decompressive surgery in six months. I'd suggest Tymlos or Forteo if your medical history agrees. Meanwhile, or while finding the right surgeon, get an appointment with a pain clinic, best in a university setting if you are anywhere near a university. Check back in with us.
