Hi there, I am new here but not to the pain I am in. I hope to find some emotional help with this pain my neck and back are causing. Its very depressing because I have no one to really talk to without being told what I should have already done, I need some real encouragement. I am not in terrible shape, but I guess I am weak because the pain is hard for me to deal with. I finally had a MRI, 3 of them, the neck and throatic showed several multi layered bulges and mild stenosis. I will be able to talk to my provider on Thursday and will hear the lumbar results. As of now she said continue my meds which is all she ever has said. My meds are hydros 10 mg. 4 times a day. I have been taking them for so long. My right arm and right leg are really affected now. I hope someone can tell me if I should go to a back specialist, is there anything that can be done? Thank you for any info or encouragment you could provide me.
