Hi Driss ~ Sorry it took so long to reply. I looked up what he prescribed and I can't find it ANYWHERE, so I don't have a clue what it is. Did he tell you what it's for? Is it a pain medication or an antidepressant? Or didn't he say anything? Sometimes they don't, which is crummy.

Your MRI isn't serious. Basically your problem is degenerative disc disease which everyone has -- it just depends on the severity. Yours seems to run from the Thoracic spine all the way thru the lumbar spine, which is pretty normal .If the other 2 Neuro's think the same thing as your doctor, then you can pretty much figure that nothing bad is going on -- and I can't see anything either. So if you continue to have a lot of pain, ask your doctor to send you to a Pain Management doctor. They may be able to help you find some relief, especially in the pool -- pool therapy is great for the spine.

I wish you the very best! PLEASE keep us posted, will you? I'd really like to know about your progress. God bless and please take care. Hugs, Lee
