Fund Claudia's Fight Against Spinal Stenosis
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Claudia Pena. I was diagnosed with Spinal Stenosis/Arthritis/at L3, L4, and L5 in January of this year. A vertebrae is out of alignment by over 2" at L4. All this means, is at my lower back. I need surgery To my spinal cord with fussion to stabilize my vertebra. To make things more challenging, I also was diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel on both hands, the right hand is the worse one. I have yet to see the Orthopedist to see if I need surgery.
Your help is important to me because, I don't want to get a loan, use a credit card and fall in deeper debt. I've had 2 MRI's, 2 different Spinal X-rays, blood work, physical therapy, steroids injected and numbing my lower back, nerve tests on my hands and I have yet to see an orthopedist. My medical condition has deprived me from many activities and I'm on medication around the clock to help cope with the symptoms, and pain.
Any donation will be greatly appreciated. The funds raised will help pay my mortgage, bills, recent medical tests, car payment, food, meet my health insurance deductible. I will be out of work for 6 weeks for healing, of which I will be using all of my vacation and PTO time.
