Hi GJ, Finz, and other chronic back painers,

My DH has terrible back pain. The type that only people with bulging discs and nerve involvement could possibly understand; like you guys!

Hubby had a new CT 2 weeks ago, and coupled with the report from the last MRI he had done 5 years ago, the GP decided to finally send him to a Neurologist with the idea of maybe having a new MRI.

I rang and made an appointment, remembering that this is the same neuro I see for my MS.....also remembering that I had to wait 3 months to get into see him.....and they gave DH one for a couple of weeks time. I did think that was a little unusual, but at the same time it was great getting an appointment that soon, knowing what his waiting lists are like.

Continuing on.......we got a phone call from the Neuro's rooms this morning asking DH to please come in tomorrow morning as the GP's referral has said that it's extremely urgent that he see a Neuro immediately!

Do you think there's something the GP neglected to tell us after seeing those new scan results?

Both of us are a tad more worried now!
