Saw the neck Dr and received some bad news. The issues with my neck (migraines etc) are not from the arm injury. In 1998 when I had my first mri after my injury there was a tiny bit of arthritis. Mri now shows much arthritis with Spinal Stenosis (sp?) in my neck. The three bulging cervical disks that I have are becoming much more aggravated and putting pressure on my spinal cord. No cure, No surgical procedure... more meds and absolutely NO LIFTING, EVER! Have to see a migraine specialist in 2 weeks, then back to neck dr. When the acupuncturist is done with my arm, I am going to see about my neck. Dr thinks this is a GREAT idea! I really hate it that I have to take more meds. I really, really do!!!! Boss is thinking about moving me up to 4 or 5 year olds so I don't have to lift. Good idea, except the woman I would be working with is lazy and LOUD! Worked with her before and it was horrible. As soon as my wrist/elbow thing is taken care of I am out of this place!!!
