Are Spine Deterioration, Leg Paralysis And Non-usable Veins In A Heroin Addict Terminal?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...Hello, my mother has been a heroin addict for over 30 years now and recently had surgery because of a cyst that formed on her spine. This caused her legs to become paralyzed. I was informed that the cyst occured because she was shooting into her spine because of the lack of usable veins left. There seems to be a lot of deterioration to the spine. What problems could this pose for her in the future? Will her spine continue to deteriorate and could this cause death?
