disctectomy x2 at l4/5, TLIF at l4/5, I dihisced my internal sutures after my TLIF( which was missed by local doctors for 7 months) so I had an I&D of wound with fascia repair, failed fusion, insertion and removal of scs. I have had elevated sed rate and a positive XXXXXXX I can't live like this anymore, I am stuck with local doctors as I am unable to travel to the University of MN or Mayo to see my neurologist and its really a substandard level of care in my area. Even if I woke up tomorrow and couldn't walk, its not seen as an emergency unless I was dying.
Was multiple sclerosis considered before as a possibility?
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
In my opinion, since your symptoms remain unsolved even after all these tests and treatment strategies, other diagnoses should be considered and evaluated further.
Multiple sclerosis is one of the conditions that may result in the majority of symptoms you describe.
In my opinion, it is necessary to get a complete neurological examination and further tests such a brain MRI, spinal tap and test of cerebrospinal fluid examination, evoked potentials, in order to get a correct understanding of your condition.
Of course, it is necessary also to get examined by a Neurologist before asking for these tests.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
