Hope I can do this. I'm not a computer whiz.

" The x-rays done in Feb of the lumbar spine were done at the facility here (same place where the MRI I am questioning is) say: Were these xrays done with you BENDING?" These xrays were done with me on a table but I was twisted (knee accross to the opposite side each time).

" Were these done? There is concern, and athey should have been done." NO, not until this one I just had done.

I agree with your statement about sloppy work. I've decided I won't take these films to Mayo. I think it will leave a lot out. I have already sent them the last x-rays.

Yesterday I got 3 facet injections and they were at the correct levels. I don't think the doctor even looked at the new MRI results. He was looking at the x-rays. It hasn't reduced the nerve pain at all but it was easier to bend and to sit down after the lidocaine took effect. Maybe the steriod will help for a longer period of time, but I'm not optomistic because the methotrexate and Humira haven't helped either.

Thanks for your time.
