Going in tomorrow at 7:30 a.m. to get another MRI of my lower back. Dr. Garg has exhausted his medical treatments and wants to send me to a neurologist. I am so game. My back pain has only increased since last summer. I had a spinal cord stimulator implanted in May, 09 and by July 1, 09, it was infected with staph infection so I had emergency surgery to have it all removed. I was in the hospital for four days waiting for them to figure out what type f infection I had and what was the best antibiotic to use. I went home with a pic line in my arm and did IV antibiotics for four weeks. I was very lucky that it wasn't the bad form of staph and that it went away after my course of antibiotics. That was a rough summer. Dr. Garg has tried many spinal injections at no avail. I could complain and complain about my back pain and my very limited mobility but I will spare you.
