The Mind Body Connection, and others. My tests for example show terrible pathology of the back, and my doctor says I should be not nearly as mobile as I am. It all depends on the individual. Every single human gets back spurs, compressed discs, etc. Everyone gets disc shrinkage, spurs etc.
2) hemangiomas are very common. They do not always cause
symptoms.
Alot of this speculation is highly subjective. I'd really ask where did those proteins in the spinal fluid come from?
Doctors really vary in their responses and belief system. Dr. Sarno who has thousands of satisfied patients, would be someone to read about.

I wish I would have been with Alan when he got these results from his neuro. But at least we get to see THE BACK GUY AGAIN.
Maybe, just maybe, they might have invented a machine where you go in, they scan you (like Star Trek), and they see something and they go "OH!!!! THIS is why Alan has the pain between the toes".
Now wouldn't that be SOMETHING!!!
Oh well, at least he's getting measured for new custom made shoes (specifically they will take into account the foot ulcer, and his bunions and god knows what else is going on with his feet), and he'll be able to get the CROW boot off and put the shoes back on.
But he's okay, and that's all we have right now.
Could be worse.
I like to look at the cup as half full.
