I have gotten the results of my MRI back. I do indeed have a bulged disc in my upper back. The CT Scan a while back showed one in my lower back. From what I can tell the one in the lower back must have been aggravated during surgery and pinched a nerve which gave me sciatic pain in my left leg (for MONTHS... only now is it starting to be relieved). The one in the upper back I am sure is what is causing all of my neck, shoulder and upper back pain (along with my arms tingling and falling asleep). It is nice just knowing, but now I am going to have to make some decisions about how "I" want to deal with this.
For now I will research and see what the best alternatives are and continue with the pain killers to subside the pain. I would appreciate your prayers for a GOOD solution that is LASTING... so that one day I may live PAIN FREE! Can't really imagine what that would be like but sure would like to find out!
Will keep you all posted,
Charlene
Sounds like a big step forward! We'll be praying as you make your decisions.
