Hello all...
I stumbled upon this site after seeking answers and definitions of medical jargon like disc-ridge complex uncovertebral hypertrophy etc-It set me on a anxious search - I have been having tremendous pain and after 2 m.r.i's in two months with still more to come my fear has been growing...Now I dont know about you all but having a good docter is paramount and having a apathetic docter is the pits. I would love to hear any stories about you all in regard to bone building osteo arthritis degeneration and cervical and lower disc problems. My brother who is one year older then me (i am 39 shhhh dont tell!) Has the same thing opted for surgery and is living his days in a wheel chair and on a mechanical morphine drip dorsal stimulater and oxycotin for extra measure. Everyday he battles pain. The reason I am here is a simple one-I seek to hear your story to see if I can gleen any knowledge that is sorely lacking from my physician-plus I am seeing a neurosugeon friday and my physical therapist AND apathetic primary care physician both say is a abrasive beast-(great...if I can get relief from this pain I am taking on the health care system next....on principle) Thanks for reading-be well, kind regards, a.
