Have my first appointment at Mass General on Wed. the 7th- finally! I am not trying to put all my eggs in one baske. They set me up with a neurosurgeon evaluator who will make recommendations. My PCP / old neurologist are the ones who referred me to neurosurgery first, for what they feel is cervical myelopathy, despite no cord compression on MRI. My nights are becoming a living nightmare with awful muscle pain, twitching, spasms. My legs and arms are so heavy- I can barely drag myself out of bed in the morning to go to work. When I'm at work I keep moving all day and try not to sit for long periods except if I have a meetings, but this causes legs to swell somewhat so contributing to the heaviness. Has anyone experience early on the ability to move on own once you get stretched and limbered, and as long as you keep going the muscles work- but as soon as you sit for a length of time the muscles seem to seize up and getting up from sitting position like from the car is oh so difficult, or by the end of work, when I get home and sit and elevate for the evening the muscle pain, stiffness and fatigue hits like a tsunami. My body feels like it has ran a marathon every day by the end of the day- muscle fatigue, pain, stiffness-so ditressed, cry all the way home from work- hope I get some answers on wed. It will be a year on 3/31 that this odessy began with no answers.
