Thanks. I already went back to see my neurosurgeon. He is at the University of Chicago and one of the best in the City. He did the surgeries on my cervical spine when I was losing the ability to use my left arm. Bone spur stabbing into the nerve root. He was surprised I was walking around with so much pain and using only Neurontin. The T/psychiatrist I had that I got rid of in May this year thought I should do ECT back then. I can imagine what that would have done to me pre-surgery. Perhaps I could have ended up likd Christopher Reeves. I had to have fusion at C4-C5. A long time ago I broke my neck (cracked the vertebra at C5, I think). Maybe it was C4. Anyway, I also have spina bifida occulta, and this may be part of the problem with the lower back pain. Oh hell, I have to stop rationalizing and guessing and bite the bullet and just call the doctor!!!
Yes, I need to call my neurosurgeion about the results of the tests and have been remiss. I will do it tomorrow.
