Thank you so much for responding, Violet! I'm so sorry that you had to go through this, but thrilled that you are on the mend. I'm curious, did you have setbacks also? I've had them all along, although some much bigger than others. For me, that's one of the toughest parts. And yes, I'd love to try yoga! All the best, -M

Sounds alot like my story. Even how you were sent home by the hospital. I was sent home by two before i went to mass general. Their neurology dept. Is great. I never had a spinal because it was too late. I am on lyrica during the day and nortriptylin at night for ths pain. I do yoga once a week, low impact. It has helped my balance. I also do accupuncture once a week with the electrodes, helped my circulation. I eat a gluten free diet which has helped the swelling due to poor circulation and i take lots of vitamins. All with my dr. Approval. I am 80% better. no more cane. I still have pain and i cant run but a year and half later, i have made progress. Good luck and dont give up.
Yes, many days i felt i was going backwards. Especially, when i get tired and feel sick. It reminds me i am not the always on the go person i use to be.
