Finally making progress with figuring out what's up with my seizures. Been talking things over with my neurologist and had been reporting to.here I was experiencing mid-back pain that would coincide with my seizures. So she cleared a Thoracic Spinal X-ray for me to do.
Now before anybody scoffs at me over what im about to say; just listen... The results of the x-ray showed I have 3 fractured vertebrae of an "indeterminate age". So, I've been walking around with a broken back for who knows how many years now. Yet I didn't experience loss of motor function, disorientation, balance issues, or limb numbness; but went through a back breaking event at some point.
Thankfully the fractures have healed, but it doesn't rule out the fact I could have vertebrae that could be pinching thensoft tissue of my spinal column. Im getting scheduled to have a Thoracic Spinal MRI done to determine if my spinal column is compromised.
Applicable treatment as stands is likely going to be physical therapy, posture correction/ training, and core strengthening. Im just taking this one day at a time; I'm glad to.atleast.have another part of the answer now.

You've been extremely lucky all things considered. Some go completely paralyzed when it comes to vertebrae being damaged or broken. So the fact you've been walking around with no support is amazing and nothing short of a miracle! Glad you managed to sort it out and figured out what's wrong. Hopefully the rest of this journey your having will be a smooth one
