Back problems - again! (MRI update #11)

[Kirsten]

I had a beautiful pain free year after my 2 back surgeries but now need at least 2 more! Chronic pain is NO fun, and I'm with you..it's not as bad as everyone thinks, just inconvenient.

I'm really sorry!! No fun at all to know that these surgeries are ahead of you! Hope you'll be well!!


I'm just coming back from my MRI. Well, the good news is: no big disk hernias this time; but two very small ones at a very early state. The radiologist wasn't sure if they're causing my problems. Like the neurosurgeon I saw last month, he also mentioned problems with the facet joints as a possible cause, so it's most likely that.

Will go to see that neurosurgeon again next week, so I guess he will dicuss further options with me.
