Anyway -- make sure you get a copy of the report and bring it here.  Yeah, I would have thought you'd have gotten SOME results by now after 9 months!
Are you taking any pain medications? If not, why? Won't your doc give you any?
Hope to hear from you soon. Hugs, Lee |
I will for sure share my MRI results asap!
I am taking Dilaudid for pain but either I'm building a tolerance or the pain is getting worse (im sure both) but i'm up to 6mg every 4-6 hours and it only takes the edge off! I've tried a million others, anti-inflammatories do nothing for some reason...?? figure that one out? and Gabapentin, I'm sure works good, but I can't get to the right dose amount without becoming comatosed, and that's doesn't work with three young boys running round the house!
The way it works here in BC Canada is that first you see your GP, so when my neck first got bad he suggested pt and chiro, so I did what he said. Then he ordered x-rays, they showed stage 2 ddd, so he then ordered a CT, after he saw the CT results he then referred me to a neuro. He was a complete a-hole and said "your ct looks perfect and there's nothing wrong with your neck and that the radiologist that did the report "well that's just one persons opinion, I'm the specialist". So after bursting into tears he finally said "well fine, we'll do and MRI"....so frustrating
