I'm so sorry to read about the pain you've been going through.

Here are you sending all of us healing vibes and supporting messages from your heart, and all along you've been in terrible pain yourself.

Thank you for the kind messages that you addressed to me. I just wish there was something I could do to help you, but although I can't do anything physical to help, please know I'm thinking of you and hoping that you get relief soon.

How did the MRI go? Do let us know when you get an update from your doc.

((David)) I hope you feel better soon

Thank you all for your concern i really appreciate it.

Well update............the UK is much different to US/Canada/Austrila healthcare in that we dont pay [ well we do in a way through national insurance but not vast amounts of up-front cash like you do]

Hence over here the wheels of motion move slowly...no MRI Scan until i have suffered pain for 8 -10 weeks [apparantly 90% of peoples condition will heal before this period, [2] they say its a Herniated Disc in neck and an MRI will only confirm this, so unless it gets worse they will wait to scan as scanning then leads to surgery [ politely saving money, over your way these tests would be carried out ASAP to big up your bill.]

Im down for physio under URGENT but the waiting list is 7 weeks [LMAO] [ WELL NOT REALLY SCREAMED MY HEAD OFF]

Stronger painkillers, and anti-inflamatories prescribed and now its just a waiting game.

IF pain goes i at least will be able to sleep lying down ..i hope.

numbness /weakness and pins/needles may be permenant depending on damage to the trapped nerve............was not happy to hear that one bit...and pray this is not the case.

thanks again to you all for your kind words and concern.

IT NEVER RAINS BUT IT POURS..............

David
