Hello @Shaz51 @Owlunar2 @Emelia8 @ClockFace @Appleblossom and anyone and everyone
I hope I'm not intruding... I thought I'd start a space for people with back issues if they haven't connected elsewhere.
After months of being fobbed off by my gp I've been diagnosed with lumbar spine issues. Findings include arthropathy, stenosis, bulging discs, L5 nerve root impingement (both sides) and crowded cauda equina. Pain and discomfort, fatigue and depression, pelvic issues. I'm trying to push through and stay mobile but I can't do as much as i used to. Staying positive is hard. When my gp gave me the printed MRI report she walked out of the office before I could ask any questions. I'm starting with an osteopath next week.
I guess I'm hoping for tips and mutual support. Thanks for reading.
