Sarah is doing well.
She's been dry a few nights now (she's now 4 weeks post-surgery) and her daytime accidents have started to slow down as well.
her back is still a little swollen, but the Dr says it's all superficial and not the actual spine so that's good.

That's great!!! Do you think you'll follow up with her doctor for yourself?

yes, sort of. we have a followup appt for Sarah on the 16th and I'm going to ask her if she can point me in the direction I need for a diagnosis myself.

My Dr, sent me to an arthritis Dr

because the MRI I had showed some arthritis in the joints of my lower spine. I asked to be sent to an Orthoped... he said no.

So I went to the Arthritis guy and he had me do some more blood tests and wants me to go see a PT.

the thing is... if your back has been hurting chronically for the past 20 years... wouldn't you think it would show signs of 'arthritis' too? Arthritis isn't the 'cause', its a symptom...

OMG!! I hope it isn't a long road for yourself as it was for Sarah. They seem to be taking you down different paths. Good luck & keep us updated!!
