New MRI ordered

Ciao, Bella! · 03-07-2007, 03:54 PM

Well, I got a pain and anti-inflammatory shot today, for the pain I was in over the weekend, and am still in.

A new MRI has been ordered, but it also looks as though I have arthritis in my lower back. (I was wondering why I couldn't stand or walk for more than 30/45 minutes at a time.) Combine that with the four bulging discs, and I'm a mess.

So, we'll see, after the MRI. I hope something can be done.

Thanx, Guppy. The Toradol injection helped tremendously, so I got a good night's sleep.

We'll just have to wait and see what comes along. Nothing more to do, for now!

I hope they can do something for you! I have had two cervical fusions done and still feel bad. I refuse to let my surgeon touch my lower back. I had two nero surgeons tell me if I can deal with it leave it alone. Once they operate on the lower back, you are never going to be the same. My nero surgeons were from yale new haven and saint francis. I really trust them. Good luck on the pain thing. They still have me on heavy meds.

Surgery actually scares me, but I'm so tired of the pain, it's an option.

I've a friend who was operated on last year. Two discs in her lower back were completely removed, and she is suffering for it! I don't want to go through life like that.

I had back surgery 6 years ago, it was a god send at the time as i had not been able to walk for 6 months, but I have so many problems now due to scar tissue, I do wonder if it was the right thing.

I am hoping not to get too much scar tissue build up. They went in threw the front of my neck.

I hope I do not have to have lower back done. I do not know, went to gym to do my therapy and lower back kicked in. So now both the neck and lower back hurt. I will let you know, nothing takes pain away in the lower back, I am afraid to have xrays done on that. How is your back suzy?

I know with my friend's scar, she's been told to stretch the skin around it after a hot shower, so the scar tissue won't adhere too much.

She doesn't think it's helping much.
