In Reply to: OT had an MRI today... posted by Dave from MN on January 23, 2008 at 10:38:05:
Dave, hope you can get something done soon. It just makes you feel kinda lazy when you're hurting.
I sure hope you can get a quick response from the doctors. Last June I finally gave up and went to the MD to see if something can be done about the back. He took an xray to prove to the insurance company that I needed an MRI. Took the MRI and they found moderate Stenosis in L2,L3,&L5 with severe stenosis in L4, and a vertibrea that has slid ahead. So far, nothing has been done and the back is still hurtin. The system is sooooo slow.
However, another MRI last fall found severe stenosis in C3 and C4 in the neck and some degeneration. Neck surgery is in two weeks. The back has been put on the 'back' burner for awhile.
A lot of people have had back problems leading to surgery and they all have a story to tell about it. It pays to talk to them and listen to their stories. You might be able to make a better decision about your own situation. I shied away from the first specialist and instead have moved on to another one, just because of the stories I have heard from the ones who have BTDT. Jim
