Thanks I will certainly message him! I have done so much research on what has been going on, and after feeling as if I had tried everything I knew could help or was recommended could help, I was content with my decision of having surgery. This new round of issues truly have me confused! So I'm trying to figure out what is going on, I've learnt A LOT from just reading your guys posts so I felt confident you guys would have some great input! It has truly knocked me back to reality bc I truly thought I was on my way back to 100%! My other delima is when I went to the ER sat. Night they did a CT scan, and the report said I had 're herniated L4-L5 with a 5mm herniation and now L6-S1. When I ended up going to the hospital the next afternoon where my neurosurgeon requested me to go to be admitted I brought the CD & report for him. I told him what the report said and he immediately said CT scans can't truly show anything and he only relies on MIR's. So we did an MIR and he said I had a slight bulge at L4-L5 but to much swelling to see it all, and that there was no problem atL6-S1. Now I trust my Neuro fully and he has never steered me wrong, but how can these 2 results vary so greatly? Of course I hope the MRI is correct, but it left me wondering if the MRI is hiding the problem as well. Right now I am more concerned with the nerve passing through the foramen bc it's causing the "heaviness" bilaterally in my legs. But the vast difference in the 2 reports has me questioning also. Again thank you guys SO much for any and all input you guys can give, I know I've written a lot and I hope its not confusing, but hopefully the more info I can give the better answers I can get!
