Default Hi chelk B

Yes I did call to make appt. with the MRI reading doctor. He stated to talk to my neurologist. I wound up believing my first neurologist in what he said were my findings. However, I got ahold of my records a few years later when symtoms were still awful. That is when I found out that my origional MRI had much more on it than what was adressed surgically the first time around. Because I didn't follow up and believed him I wound up with that second really difficult fusion. That taught me to get all my records, and follow up with any findings. That first neuro told me there wasn't anything more wrong, and that it was all in my head. Well how come I wound up fused C3-7 then? I had reversed the curve of my spine. You would think that something like that would be told to a patient. Boy did I learn the hard way. Thats why I tell folks to get their records and ask all the questions they can.
I hope you are OK check, and that your own sitatuation resolves. None of it is fun...
I never went back to that first neuro when he told me it was in my head, just a pain specialist thinking that was all they could do. It was the pain doc. who got me another referral after Ketamine infusions didn't work. He got my records and saw on the screen what was going on. Thank the maker, that there are still good physians around....take care Ginnie
