This is an update to my Monday post painful evaluation.
It’s Thursday afternoon at 1:11pm.
I’m sitting in my recliner with an ice block unevenly situated on my cervical spine best way I know how.
I have been feeling semi miserable since Monday and it just seems as if the guy irritated the shit out of something in there and it’s not getting any better.
It sucks because I felt no actual pain from my cervical spine/neck area. I just had spasms, numbness and tingling but no pain… until Monday.
I have had the continuous feeling of something pushing against my throat and making it harder to swallow.
I am supposed to go back to physical therapy tomorrow for my first appointment to begin cervical radiculopathy physical therapy.
But…. the way I am feeling I am afraid to.
I called the cranial surgeon and explained what is going on. She is supposed to call me back. I don’t know if continuing with physical therapy is going to further irritate the nerves in my spine there or not.
The lady told they can explain to the insurance company that physical therapy will make things worse.
I don’t know if that means they would push the fusion up further or not.
But my pain meds aren’t doing anything.
I am at a loss on what to do…
Meanwhile I keep using my cbd muscle rub as often as I can. It helps very little but it’s better than nothing.
I am using the ice block til my husband gets home with another heating pad. It took the worst time to take a dump.
I will update once I know more.
If you or anyone you know had had similar issues please please please let me know what happened and what they did.
