Work does come first lol and thanks I know I will pull through.

Is this a Disfriend or a nemesis?

DISfriend, they aren't in here or in DISdads. They are in the POR thread.

Sorry, I meant to respond earlier....

Well, I have an answer. I'm still not sure what to make of it though. I have three disks that showed up with a disk bulge but the worst of them is compressing on a nerve root. Basically a pinched nerve but with a very obvious cause. When he showed me the MRI picture, there was no doubt which one was causing the problem.

So at this point, my now somewhat humble doctor has referred me to a pain specialist and an Orthopedic (spelled Orthopaedic?) Surgeon for a second opinion. I'm sure there will be another round of PT and possibly injections before anything major, like surgery, is considered. But I will wait and see what the new doctor says. I'm going to hold off on the pain specialist until I see the surgeon and get her opinion.

On one hand, I'm so sorry to read this But on the other, at least they know why you're in pain and it sounds like you're going to seek the medical advice and the treatment you need.

Keep us updated, if you want to.

I am glad to hear they know what is causing it. Lets hope the surgeon has some good answers to deal with it.

I'm glad you finally know the cause and can now start figuring out ways to get better!

Good morning everyone!

Thanks everyone!! It is funny but I do feel a little better being able to actually see what is causing this. LOL - at least I'm not crazy....well, OK, I am a bit crazy at times, but you know what I mean. There is some relief to being able to see in print that there is an actual cause instead of me just sitting in the doctor's office claiming to be in pain, you know.

I do think the doctor is taking it more serious now, just by the way he talked to me at the appointment yesterday. And if I do have to do anther round of PT, at least I can take my paperwork in and she will know exactly what is going on too and how to approach it (it was all guesswork before).

Oh...and Good Morning everyone!!!!!

Now you can get the problem resolved! Your only crazy here , with the rest of us....

I hear ya. I was kinda sorta relieved when they found the polyp thing. I didn't want them to think I was a hypochondriac......
