spinal cord injury


by: Terri G on Fri, Apr 25 2008

a doctor hit my spinal cord, instead of the epidural on my c5 for a herniated disc, and i have nerve damage. I woke up paralyzed in the left side and regained motion but now have burning pain, electric waves and sensitive if the wind blows, i feel like some one is cutting my neck and i feel like i have raw skin on my nuckles, but no discoloration in skin or sweating. I’m on cymbalta for depression, and tramadol time release which makes me drowsy. The oxycodone works well at night for bedtime. don’t try topamax it’ll make you suicidal, neurontin makes you forget your memory and spacy, the Lyrica gave me blisters. I refuse any more needles and don’t reccommend any either. If anyone knows a cure please help me. I too have trouble adjusting to no quality of life and 3 little ones to raise. Has anyone gotten tested for the RSD for heat EMG/NCV tests, what is it like, who does it?
