MRI Results

lynne b · 12-13-2010, 12:24 PM

Well i got the result's of the MRI on my lower back and I am not a happy camper.
My family Dr say's it looks like I have a fragment in my lower spin area that is affecting my nerve and probably causeing the pain down my leg. He is referring me to the Dr that did my ruptured disc surgery.

Gayle is this common after a back surgery? I really do not want to have another surgery , are there any other options?

I don't know much about back problems and surgery - except to say that it is very common to have to have more than one surgery. Often the first one isn't successful at all (although they are much more successful now than in the past). Gary's uncle had 4 - and now he is doing good, but it took several years. I'm so sorry that you MIGHT (not will) have to have another surgery, but it does happen. I'm sorry, I don't know about other options. Please keep us posted.

Oh Lynne....I know you don't want another surgery, but if it will help...

The way you were limping on Sunday....I know that can't be comfortable for you. I'll try and give you a call later.
