UPDATED info at post#23.

 

Caution!! x-rated,

xrayed:scratchchin:,

MRI'd,

ya that's it.

 

So I've got this CD of my MRI last week, to take from my first Chiropractor to the new on with the decompression therapy machine.

 

You know I couldn't pass up a look see.

 

Now, I'm no doctor, but I did stay at a Super 8 a couple months ago:scratchchin:, and this can't be good.

 

Here's a pic of my insides:Im not listening to, and that long white thing to the right of all the vertibraes is the bundle of nerves running down through my spine.

 

There Jeff, Something to talk about besides MD in Ohio.

I had something like that done a while back. The Doc x-rayed what was causing me the agravation.

 

He said he could get rid of it for me if I would just give him her phone number.

[Flyinfool]

Yup, that looks like it should hurt or sumpin.

 

I aint no Dr neither so I gots to ask, what is that thick layer of white at the extreme right???

 

 

ps, I wasn't talking bout MD, I was whining bout it. So there.

PS. I'm knockin' back a few this evening, and it is killing the pain.

[Flyinfool]

So your sayin I should bring some rum balls next week?

For purely medicinal purposes of course.

I'd like to say ya, but when I drink much more than beer, others might see what comes out of my insides.

 

Oh, I fixed the missing part of the picture...

[oldgoat]

cant make the MD but yep i had this type maybe injury,

buldge in l5 s1 area pinched nerve sciatica shooting pain down my legs right to my toes. weakness ect. i had spinal injections. lots of PT hevy meds oxycoton morphine and for a while it worked for about 2 years now i have degenertive disk diease more or less the docs saying im getting old. i now have traction treatments once a month and that seems to help. there are days when bending can be a problem but right now i will go this route as to haveing a spinal fusion . i wish ya luck a bad back is no fun at all

[Scooter Bob]

HI HO, HI HO, it's under the knife I go...

 

We had the Chiropractor look at the MRI this morning, and since yesterdays adjustment only helped for half an hour, he didn't even bother adjusting today.

 

After seeing the pics, he said there's no way adjustments are going to fix this. He's going to start looking for a surgeon for me.

 

I can't wait, I hope we can get this done soon. Should know more Monday or Tuesday.

I don't imagine I can get a surgery scheduled that quick.

[Flyinfool]

[Flyinfool]

If I had any clue how to post X-Rays I could show you what it looks like after surgery.

[Scooter Bob]

So my 2nd Chiropractor took a look at my MRI images last Saturday and said adjusting won't help, we need to find a surgeon.

 

Trying to find a neorosurgeon that could see me in a reasonable amount of time, and was in my health plan took a bit, but...

 

I found one Wednesday afternoon and took them my referal letter and the MRI cd right after work. They scheduled me at their earliest opening for a visit 8 days later, but said they would have the Doctor look at the MRI right away.

 

They called me at 10 am Thursday morning (18 hours after dropping off the stuff) and said they wanted to see me right away and they wanted to operate right away on Monday morning.

 

So off I go to meet the doc, he checks me out, discusses the procedure, sends me to the lab, then the admissions office.

 

Relief is just a few days away, everything's all set.

 

I'll keep ya'll posted, Scooter Bob

[Flyinfool]

I don't imagine I can get a surgery scheduled that quick.

 

I told you it could happen quick, You just barely missed, missing MD.

Then Jeff would have to entertain Jeff while helping Jeff while Jeff did.........

[LilBeaver]

Oh boy. Looks like a bundle of fun. Glad to hear that things still rolling along for you!

 

Hope all goes well with the surgery and whatnot!
