I am a fifty year old male born and raised and still reside in Alberta. I have recently gained access to the web, and I am impressed with the wealth of information I have already gained in such a short amount of time. I have recently been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease with kyphosis and severe osteoarthritic changes throughout the spinal column. In the past 2 years I have seen numerous physicians and the diagnosis came on April 16, 2011.I have experienced significant change in my life since September 9, 2010. I was involved in a t-bone MVA where the other driver failed to yield the right of way at an uncontrolled intersection.I suffered 7 rib fractures and a 30 cm laceration to the right side of my scalp.Healing did not take long as I was back to work mid November. It did not take long to run afoul of I am not sure what when I broke my arms in a work accident.Distal bilateral fractures of both forearms ,the left with 3 pins inserted for a 49 day casting schedule. Then came the diagnosis to complete the hat trick.I have turned to the web to bolster my forced medical education,and it has been a blessing.Drug types,usages,I keep finding something new every time I log on. Some of my interests include hockey,woodworking,gardening,photography,and now of course surfing the web.I look forward to corresponding with someone in a like situation as far as diagnosis goes.
