So the MRI that my neuro ordered since my ortho does an xray and says back is still broken but doesn't order mri to see why... got the report today.

Lost another 5% height in my one vertebra and now have a bulging disc that is touching my ventral thecal sac (whatever the heck that is) oh and the degenerative disc thing in the neck has gotten worse and I have another set of bulging discs in that area that weren't there in feb.

So in other words... my back is more broken than it was in feb when i broke it. Why you ask? Oh because some idiot ortho ordered me to 12 weeks of physical therapy with 2 active fractures that never got to heal because my stupid insurance denied the brace I needed and I hate everyone today! Except you guys of course! I cannot wait to go see this idiot in a few weeks.

Oh and the TY news... no new lesions, 5 are significantly bigger, 2 are significantly smaller, and one is active again in the brain. Find out Tues if I stay on Ty or if I am off to clinical trials.

Good Grief!!! What's that oath doctors take........"first, do no harm." duh......somebody sure missed the boat. Can you spell "MALPRACTICE"?

Besides all that, I just hope you feel better soon Leggz, and get those problems taken care of.

needless to say I am going to be calling the new pcp monday and asking for a referral to a new ortho... but i still plan on visiting this moron in a couple of weeks to see what he has to say for himself. It just annoys me, I have enough stuff going on in my body I don't need anymore!

no advice, just hugs

Wow, with friends like that Ortho, you don't need any enemies.
