Suggest Treatment For Deteriorating Vertabrae
I have a deteriorating vertabrae in my back which causes severe sciatic pain. I have seen a neuro surgeon and he recommends i have a fusion of L4 and L5. I had a fusion 8 Of L5 S1 17 years ago. Over the last two months i have had severe neck stiffness. I can no longer turn my head or lift my arms due to pain I have also developed a non pustular rash on my back and lower legs which is only itchy in hot water. When i wake in the morning the pain is so bad i need help dressing and getting out of bed. I have not missed work due to this. I have worked as an RN for 25 years!
