I wrote back two months ago and described how I had a pain that ran through my shoulder down to my fingers. I ve tried to get an MRI 3 times now, but the pain is too strong for me to sit there for 30 minutes. Currently, sometimes my entire arm goes numb and my left thumb and index finger are partially numb all the time. Also my left calf is partially numb now also. I am losing a lot of strength in any pressing movement. I am going to a chiropractor 3 times a week, they stretch out my spine with a machine of 25lbs of pressure and he adjusts me. It is helping and the pain has diminished 80% but the numbness is getting worst.
My action plan:
1) Going to an upright MRI or couscous sedation MRI ASAP
2) Once I get the MRI I can go see the Orthopedic Spine Surgeon at Rush Medical Center.
Is there anything else I should do?
Thanks to everyone who has helped so far, you guys are great!!!
