I have no disk in my neck, recently i woke with the loss of the use of my right hand, the neurosurgeon said i need to get fusion done right away. I'm so out of shape from being rear ended at a stop light on 8/2 which did in my lower back where I all ready have a basket were 4,5,6 lumbar were sawed vertically in half and replaced with the basket ,four rods six screws, then fractured the vertebrae above and below # 4 and 6. I am getting partial paralysis from my neck quite often. but my lower back is so painful at bed time i eat three 8 ml hydromorphine with two ambien and two valium. I had Doctor Louis Biglioni at Columbia Pres. replace my entire left shoulder with composite parts and Dr Geller also on his team, replace my left knee, any way I know I have to do neck first, I've worked thirty years doing equine therapy, any age with CP, Autism, for last 10 years with PTSD, MY Web page is adkhorse.com ,is it possable to have both done at same time, I would like to work with paralized vets just north of Tampa, I'm also on 11, 36,000 of creon a dayI have little putt out of my pancreas, time is short I've had a morphine pump implanted wrong 4 times it kills me everyday, these vets and kids need my help. whats yours best neurosurgeon suggest, I know my neck, I've lost a large part of the use of right hand. so I truly hope you have any good idea's.
