Bad news for Shiney

(1/23) > >>

Shiney:
A couple of weeks ago I developed a sore neck so I went to the doc and he reckoned it was swelling so gave me painkillers and put me on a course of acupuncture. (This didn't really fix me up)

   

About a week ago I was using my right arm to push myself up out of bed and was struck by a pain through the shoulder into the base of my neck (OUCH) :eek
Ever since then I have had intermittent pain shooting through my shoulder and right arm (quite painful and can be brought on by any movement I make even just walking :||||)
Oh and the neck pain has also gotten worse :fp

So the doc sent me to get an MRI (I only just fit in the damn little tube >:())
Anyway the results have come in...

Large Syringohydromyelia at C6/7

(Syringohydromyelia is a disorder in which a cyst or cavity forms within the spinal cord. This cyst, called a syrinx, can expand and elongate over time, destroying the spinal cord. The damage may result in pain, paralysis, weakness, and stiffness in the back, shoulders, and extremities.)

The doc has referred me to a neurosurgeon at the Hospital and I am waiting to hear from them :well :well :well

So as a result of this I'm not riding the bike (Well I have ridden twice during these 2 weeks, just down the road and back... So hard to stop riding :'() and I'm off work until this is fixed.

Anyway I just thought I'd let my OzSTOC family know whats going on with me and why I won't be seen out on the bike for a while.

Cheers
Shiney
