I am hoping that i have made the right decision. This new doc has me taking the shots in my back again. the first shots were not bad. I know the cortisone hurts for a few days but this time they are really bothering me. The very bottom shot that was done has become extremely pain full. I am thinking that maybe it is time to call the doc and let him know. I mean why go thru this, especially if it is not supposed to hurt like this. OK enough whining about my back. I'll tell you a new thing. I had a MRI done on my neck and got some concerning news. There are about four discs in my neck that are bulging. One of the is bulging and pushing on my spinal cord. It is pushing enough on the spinal cord that it is narrowing the spinal cord. they cannot tell for certain if the pressure is causing my spinal cord to swell but they can't say that it is not. I could not be still enough for the MRI to tell. I also have these little bony things that i can best explain as bone spurs basically all up an down my neck. Pretty much if i fall or get into a wreck or anything like that in which my neck and /or back can be injured i am not too far away from seriously injuring my spinal cord. Great news huh. It really makes you think. Especially if you are as clumsy as me. Now i have to make myself not dwell on all of this and just go on. Easier said than done. At least there is the slight possibility for a brighter side.... Someday... Right?
