Hi Barb,
Nice to meet you, wish it were under other circumstances. I had to give my copy of the MRI to the neurosurgeon who said that he couldn't help me. He did mention in passing that it could be arach, in fact, he was so quick about it that I barely caught it & started researching it as soon as I got home.
I guess I should get another copy from the hospital, but I wouldn't now how to read it.
Even if it turns out to be arach, just having a diagnosis would be a relief, in all of these years, it's been insinuated that it was all in my head, been accused of seeking drugs, accused of being lazy, etc, etc.
Even now, I'm only able to convince my doc to give me 10mg Lortab & some muscle relaxers, which really don't help much. They don't like to treat pain, even when there is a clear cut reason, let alone when they don't see a reason for it.
I'm wondering what tests to request from the neurologist on Tue. I know that I need a new MRI, because my condition has greatly deteriorated since the last one in May.
I'm sorry this is so long, I'm just in desperate need of someone to reach out to who understands.
Praying that you all have a peaceful & comfortable day
Juva
