I've been one that has been diagnosed with thoracic spinal stenosis, bulged discs in the thoracic region of my spine, dealing with horrific pain that unfortunately isn't being controlled by injections, going in for my second radio frequency ablation soon. The last one didn't cover all of the nerves effected. I've got severe dizziness, my left and right hands go numb as well as my left foot. Also have both lumbar disc and SI joint issues. This all has been debilitating and I just want to finally be able to live a somewhat pain free life, so I can follow my hopes and dreams holding me back. I so miss working! But I just can't even imagine being able to work like this. The pain is so bad at times, I can't even think straight. My doctors and physical therapists actually believe my spinal issues are causing this severe dizziness, that actually feels like vertigo, especially when it rains or there is any change in the weather, it get much more severe. I do have three herniated discs in the thoracic spinal region. As well as other bone issues. Can you help me?
