Default Mri

Went for my MRI today! Was a lot longer than previous visits and I got plain and with contrast.
They told me they got beautiful images, well at least I have something that's beautiful
It worries me when they make remarks afterwards like today's, well send your results to your consultant and then you can discuss your options, I hope we didn't cause you any more damage!
I just said, it's going to my GP! I don't have a consultant and you couldn't have caused any damage doing an MRI, oh and I don't have any damage
It takes up to 4 weeks for th results to get to the gp. So we will wait and see

You can request t a copy of the report for your own records.. and gives you time to look up anything written as problematic.. so you can ask informed questions when you do see dr.

Default Results.

I got my results on Friday.
They said I had two broad based disc bulges, l2/3 and l5/s1.
They had refered me to a neurosurgeon who refused to see me as I have already had 2 surgeries and they didn't think it would be a good outcome. They will see me if I lose function in my legs and feet.
My gp wants to send me to a neurologists not sure what good that would do.
I just have to be careful, avoid any lifting etc.
These are just the new things since my last MRI. I still have desiccated disc at l4/5, protusions at thoracic levels and stenosis and spondylothesis in cervical spine.
Not sure what to think to be honest.
Just keeping on keeping on.
