[Blind-rollers] cervical injections

[Joseph]

Hi,
I had 2 surgeries a c 6 7 and a c 3 4 fusion about 10 years apart. Then after other problems associated with walking and other neuropathy problems, I had a number of MRIs and other tests of my spine and the Lumbar and Sacral spine are really messed up. the doctor who did my other surgeries didn't want to do any more and that is why I did the injections and therapy.
I use a power char. However, I still try to walk as much as I can. But some times, the chair just works out best and is much safer.
