Laminectomy D8-D11

Post a new topicby Guest on Sun Feb 02, 2003 12:13 am

In 1982 they founf a Spinal Cord Compression and Myelopathy. Level D8-D11
I had a Multiply Level Thoracic Laminectomy D8-D11 with Excision of a Spinal Cord Entrament at this Level
The surgery was success full. That was
in 1982, done by Dr, Francis P. Nash MD., PC, at Tualatin Valley Hospitalin Hillsboro, Oregon.

My life has not been easy to say the least, it is Feb. 01, 2003. I have been going down hill for the last 2 years. I am a disabled veteran, divorced women of 54 years of age. ON MY OWN! I have only the V. A. Hospital Medical Center for help. I am having problems at L45, L5 are 75%
deterating, and S1 is close off. I am trying to find out any information to show my doctor Allin, of Fort Collins that I want to have a new evualtion, from the Neurolgist to see if the tumor is growing back, or some other type of help, either in a fusion of Level's L4,L5,S1. Or some way to have a better quality of life. For right now I am on 120mg of Morphone and Oxycodonr 5mg 3x a day.When the pain is really bad all I do is stay in bed. And not doing anything but lie still and read and do craft's in bed. I am looking for help, or any kind of,help, to understand were I am at. Is there anyone who read's this have any help, this Person would like a respones.
Sincerely Yours,
WandaJean
