If you don’t mind me asking, which vertebrae is the stenosis with you and where does it hurt for you?And speaking of pain . . . I had a laser burn of my eyes yesterday - a laser iridotomy for narrow angles. I had never heard about this but my optometrist sent me to a specialist mumbling something about cataracts and since I didn’t need that, they found this, which can be a precursor for glaucoma. Whatever. It was free except for the $155 for some before/after pressure test - which isn’t mandatory – and it just confirms that it worked. Yeah, I know, it’s a $ grab and since they get paid for the laser procedure by the cheap-ass gov’t, they scratch for pennies elsewhere. Anyways, the laser burn was essentially pain free but my neuropathic pain (my fake leg pain) from my stenosis drove me nuts all day. I had to skip my daily stoned dog walk in the morning and since it was my eyes, I refrained from smoking any cannabis because we all know what happens to your eyes under the influence.
Not a fun day . . . until . . . I stumbled in the door mid-afternoon and after a quick hit from my hash pipe followed by a small bowl of some leaf . . . the world became a much better place.
Only because I know I have moderate L4//L5 stenosis from a scan last year, but I’m getting a lot of hip pain and groin pain (along with the lower back/legs/and coccyx area) so im trying to play medical detective since the docs have gone silent and the pain doesn’t seem to match the problem area
Cheers
