I’ve come here out of desperation as I’m scheduled to have surgery on my spine in a few days and I don’t believe I got a proper diagnosis.
Here’s the background on my nightmare.
I was using black tar heroin (administered nasally) for awhile, and overtime, I lost the ability to run. And after a few more months, it progressed into difficulty walking. And it hasn’t let up since.
My symptoms are many at this point and include generalized numbness, clonus, muscle spasms, a pins and needles feeling in my hands and feet, a strange clicking sound in my ears, and a plethora of other delightful issues.
So upon having a few MRIs and some other tests, my neurologist believes I have cervical spinal stenosis and he wants to operate next week. But the thing is, he assured me that heroin couldn’t be to blame but I’m 100% certain that it is.
I’m hoping that someone on here might have some knowledge or suggestions as to what I could be suffering from and what I should do. I’m pretty sure I’m gonna ditch on the surgery but I don’t know where to go from here and this ailment is extremely debilitating.
Any insight you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
