Your Dr. is right not to jump on the banwagon that everything is RSD.

I was down with my back all last week. I can't have an MRI due to an implant but my Dr. did say he felt some crunching in my back. As we get older we do deal with these issues such as arthritis and back injuries.

My daughter just had an MRI last week for her back. We were both down at the same time. Her's showed some narrowing and she had inflamation. We both pulled out the heating pads. I used lidoderm patches.

He gave me valium but I didn't take it. She wouldn't take anything either. We both weathered the storm.

I do know though with all you have been through that it's even rougher on you being down with your back.

Feel better soon.

Ada

I hope you start feeling better soon.
