Hello friends,
I recently experienced changes in my body. I was a lucky one and until now as I did not have to deal with pain. Well, I guess my luck is running out. I never thought that I will still experience changes so far into the injury. It has been 12 years with no pain. Unfortunately, I now experience it daily. The feeling is unlike anything that can be described with words. Closest I can describe it using words is it feels like a mild cold - burning sensation. I know it doesn't make sense to feel cold and burning at the same time but it is exactly how it feels. My injury is Brown - Sequard. What that means is I'm incomplete and my body function is split in half. One side of my body is functional with messed up feeling and other side is functionally messed up with a good feeling. So now that I developed new pain it affects my functional side on which I depend so much.
I am looking for insight and some personal knowledge based on experiences. I appreciate the knowledge of docs but nothing is more valuable than actual experience. Any of you can relate? Did anyone experience changes so far into an injury? Perhaps, my axonal reorganization will help me recover some more function. It might also mess me up further. Yh, that is the life we have been given. Life of uncertainty.
