Bugger.... hopefully all goes well, certainly wishing you all the best.

Oh, and don't bother with the "How to........" video even if the surgeon offers to wear your headcam!

Now you've got me thinking... a "How to..." video sounds like an interesting idea

Just caught up with your news Dave. Not good but at least the prognosis sounds a little positive. Trust you to get something nobody has ever heard of!
We are thinking of you.

Thanks mate, and thanks for not rubbing in all the fun rides you go on

Hope all goes well , I know what it's like to have neck pain I recently had a nerve block  injected into my neck at c3 to stop the neck pain , headaches and pain down both arms , if this doesn't hold then the only option is to have the vertebra fused, so all the best and here's  to a good result .

[gaz]

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)
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

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

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

Just checked in today, first time in a while apparently as I've just spotted this thread. All the best Shiney. Prayers for a positive outcome.

Chin up, Dave, wishing you all the best, hope you can get it sorted soon as. Gotta get you back on the bike before you forget how to ride!

 My own troubles are minor, the slash and stitch jobs are continuing tomorrow for me.

It's about time I updated everyone...

A few weeks ago I woke up with no pain but this was a bit of a worry for me why would the pain just suddenly disappear (I thought something bad might be happening )
So off to the doc, he said I should just continue to take it easy and wait for the hospital to fit me in

Well I got sick of waiting and asked for referrals to a few specialists (I eventually found one on the list that could fit me in )
I went over everything with him and he reckons that I have most likely had the Syringohydromyelia since birth and that the pain was caused by a musculoskeletal injury anyway he said that I could now return to work

So today was my first day back and I'm feeling like my old self again
(That being said I'm still on the waiting list at the hospital as I want a second opinion just in case the first specialist is wrong... the risks are just too high to rely on one guys reckoning )

Anyway that's where I'm finding myself at this point in time, hoping everything stays fine
