#spinal cord compression

LIVE

I know this sounds dramatic but I don’t understand how a person can feel THIS MUCH PAIN and not be actively dying.

MY LEG IS FLICKERING

Like mini spasms. One under my butt. One in my thigh.

It’s not extremely painful but it’s really unpleasant and mildly infuriating.

I have my foot on my affected leg in a heat pad because it feels like it’s in a bucket of ice water, like an emergency level of cold, but when I touch my foot with my hand it’s warm. It’s so painfully cold.

Nerve pain is hell.

Am I getting used to a third of my foot being numb, or am I regaining sensation?
