My goodness petticoats, 12-15 years is much too long for anyone to have to suffer from something so painful. My heart goes out to you in recognition of what you must have gone through.

Good luck with your MRI. If you haven't had one before, they are rather noisy, but hopefully you'll be able to listen to some nice soothing music while it's happening.

I hope all goes well when you see the neurosurgeon. Let us know how you get on.

In the meantime, welcome to NeuroTalk from me as well. It's lovely to meet you petticoats, and I'm glad so you found us.
