Ok, who's had it and how was it? My back is really weird. I can sleep on my side without a pillow up against it and I can't stand up for long without putting my hand up against my back. It's weird, I start to get a light sensation that unless I put pressure against it, my brain thinks that its going to really hurt.
I'm having this done because I've had trouble walking and I have a limp. I really can't run anymore because I can't keep a stride without tripping over myself every 2 or three steps. I drag my right leg is kinda what happens. I still run on the elliptical, but after a certain point I really just use my left leg to keep the cycle going and with the machine I step through where my right leg isn't working right. And once I get off the elliptical I have trouble walking and my right leg is locked up but it's hard to explain.
The orthopedist and neurologist both said I have strong signs of hyperreflexia. And the MRI on my back was fine, however the MRI on my brain had the bright spots where the myelin has been damaged. I don't know yet if they will end up officially saying I have Multiple sclerosis or not but I guess this spinal tap and the triple evoked potential test will see where we go from here.
