I am 43 yrs old. I am self employed and have a family. I have seen a chiropractor for many years so for me to have a headache, neck ache, or lower back pain is nothing, I just go to get adjustment from chiropractor. On Jan 25 2010, i went in for an adjustment. My chiropractor suggested i see my family dr. on Jan. 26 2010, i saw family dr. got some meds for the tingling and was told possibly a herniated disk in my back. Jan 27, my wife had enough. I was walking bent over, hurt every step, and couldn’t pee but had the urge. She took me to the E.R. after I had about 1700 cc of urine taken out of my bladder, the dr got to business. I had MRI, XRAYS, and every blood test imaginable. After about 1 hr, the dr was putting me in the hosptial. I had no idea what I was feeling or if I was making this up. I felt so weird. Like my body isn’t doing what i want it to when i want it do it…

On Jan.28 I got the TM dignosies. things started to roll with treatments of IV streroids for 5 days, I was released from hospital on Jan 30 which was my dad’s birthday. I have been following up with physcial theropy, urologiest, and my family doc.. in March i see the neurologist for a follow up… just the feeling of not being able to work, and not able to control my body is frusterating…

I was told this was odd because the neurologists have NEVER seen TM just come on without a previous illness or injury….

Praying i have a fast recovery… thanks for letting me share my story

Thanks for sharing, Mike!
