Default Dr Google

Hey googling things can be a great source of information, but it can also cause unnecessary fear when you are not in possession of all the facts. There are so many things that could be contributing and getting yourselves all agitated often only serves to increase symptoms. Contact the GP again and let them know your concerns. Are you in the UK? Images are kept by the NHS unless you have gone private. In Australia it's the same, you only get the images if you have gone private and more and more now they release the images but keep the report digital and you have to request it. I hope you both get some more info soon to help alleviate your fears.

We will see if we can get a copy of his MRI results.

The thing that his GP told him when he went was 'spinal cord compression' and we've googled it and it doesn't sound good?

So now he's stressing thinking the worst and that he could never be better and might end up paralyzed. He's scared to death of hospitals and operations as well.
