May all our friends here have a very Blessed Christmas and a less painful new year. DebView Thread

They sound similar to the RFA - in which they burn the facet nerves.
I will keep her in my prayers, for her health and the financial battle that is going on.

Findings: Hyperlordosis of the lumbar spine, S-shaped scoliosis of the thoracolumbar spine, approx. 11 degrees of dextroscoliosis at the thoracolumbar junction, approx. 8 degrees of compensatory levoscoliosis involving upper lumbar spine.
Cardiomegaly is present.
Moderate distention of the stomach, multiple air filled loops of bowel are seen throughout the upper to mid abdomen.
Recommendations: Wait on surgery as long as possible, repeat X-ray in 6 months, he said he if fearing a major change in those months considering 3 months ago I did not have any measuring amounts of degrees - it just started. He said I am looking at a 12 to 15 vertebrae fusion.
I am to call my Cardio Doc. as cardiomegaly is a serious problem. I am to call my GI Doc. because it is not good to have intestines up in my chest..
What a day - I did call my Heart Doctor they want me in asap this can't wait until next week - I am going in on Friday - please pray - I am a little concerned as both my parents had heart problems - my mom died at age 50 massive heart attack, my dad had 4 heart attacks before he was 55 but died of colon cancer at 73. I am 56. Thanks Deb.View Thread


I will keep you in my prayers on the 12th.View Thread

I do have a "S" shape going on in the thoracic area so we will see what it is, I am not a Dr or radiologist so I have no clue what is going on. More Later, DebView Thread

The Dr. has ordered an all in one X-ray that measures 36". Wow that is a whole lot of me. It is to include every thing to the tip of my tailbone, which was broken in 1990.
It is still scheduled for Tues. just 30 miles further away. I get to take it with me then I can look at it that sounds like fun. Thanks for your help Joy. DebView Thread

I am curving to the right on my Xrays with a twisted aorta in the thoracic. When I stand I get horrific pain dead center of my back. Like something is pinching there. Anyone else have this? Thanks for your help, DebView Thread

That test sent to the colon/rectal surgeon - of course more tests but within a very short time I knew what I was dealing with. Then after the colon removal I was sent to the Urogynecology for the necessary tests for the rectal repair.
You it just occurred to me I also had to deal with a vessel bleed which no one had occurred until I went in again to see the Urogynecologist, It was eternal and swelled up everything to the point I could not sit or walk I had to have an emerg. surgery to stop the bleed I had a hematoma the size of a small pickle inside.
I will pray you get in to see the GI doc soon. Please keep us posted. DebView Thread
