Talk:Myelomalacia

MYELOMALACIA, SPINAL CORD-I HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH MYELOMALACIA AND POSSIBLY SPINAL CORD DYSFUNCTION. LOOKING AT THE INFO ON MYELOMALACIA I DO NOT SEE MUCH HOPE FOR HELP OR RECOVERY. LOOKING AT DYSFUNCTION I SEE SOME HOPE FOR HELP WITH SUCH THINGS AS ACUPUNCTURE, LASERPUNCTURE, AYURVEDA(REGEN NERVE), ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHER POSSIBILITIES. HOW CAN I, FOR SURE, FIND OUT WHAT I HAVE SO I MAY GET SOME HELP? I HAVE HAD 2 LAMINECTOMIES(FEB 2009 AND AUG 2009) REMOVING LAMINA FROM T-9 THRU L-5 THUS RELIEVING COMPRESSION ON THE SPINAL CORD AND, HOPEFULLY, NOT CAUSING FURTHER DAMAGE TO THE SPINAL CORD. I AM EXPERIENCING WEAKNESS IN MY LEGS, DIFFICULTY WALKING, BALANCE PROBLEMS AND MANY TIMES BURNING SENSATIONS IN MY THIGHS. LAYING DOWN RELIEVES MOST PROBLEMS BUT I CANNOT LIVE LAYING ALL DAY!

 * Just diagnosed today 2607:FB91:1594:48C1:7D55:FD2E:6C4:54FD (talk) 22:07, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I hear you Ernie; no one wants to live a life laying down all the time - that's not even living! I myself have also been diagnosed with myelomalasia and had neck surgery just over a month ago.  I was having neck pain but did not know that was (part) of my problem.  An x-ray showed that I also have it in my lower back which gives me a tremendous amount of pain, balance issues and problems walking.  I am now 71 and have always been a fast-paced active woman; I have a great neurologist and pray he can keep me ambulatory and comfortable for the most part.  I wish you good luck Ernie.  I really do! 71.30.50.198 (talk) 06:33, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
