Just read my MRI reports that I have from way back in 2006/2007.

Interesting to find out that way back then, they actually FOUND "annular bulging" (slipped discs) at c4-c5, c5-c6, and c6-c7 with a very small left paracentral protrusion (hmm...does that mean "slipped disc"?) of the c5-c6 disc (without cord compression or stenosis)

They also found a hemangianoma (abnormal buildup of blood vessels) on, if I remember right, L5-S1. (hemangianomas are beign, and usually dont cause problems, but can sometimes press on nerves...interesting?)

What the hell? All that was there FIVE freaking years ago and they never bothered to tell me???

Now I think I really do want to do that MRI. (half tempted to call that doctor back and ask them to do the cervical and thoracic while they're doing the lumbar)

I know I'm calling my neurologist in the morning and tell him I'm having an MRI and ask him to look at the MRI report from 5yrs ago and see what he thinks about that.
