Finally !!!!!
About ten this morning a male nurse called and gave me a heads-up about my MRI. He had woken me up and my mind wasn't working at full speed, but he said it looks to be 2 slipped discs in my neck. He reminded me of the follow-up appointment on August 1 at 9:30 am.
So I guess now I can find someone for Physical Therapy. I didn't want to until I found out exactly what was going on because I didn't want more damage to be caused. You know....I cleaned house Friday and Saturday and felt really good. My upper arm ached, but my neck and shoulder really didn't cause me any real problems. Yesterday a family friend came to see Mom and when she was leaving she gave me a hug. She squeezed just a little too tight and I let out a yelp (which scared her half to death) and it's been hurting ever since.

Finally you've found out what your problem is!!! Did the guy tell you what to do in the meantime???? I guess that August is just a week away so it probably wouldn't do much good to try and get another appointment.
Sorry, that the hug made you hurt again. Take some ibuprophen and it will help with the inflamation. |

That doesn't sound too good. Will they need to to surgery?
I'm reluctantly starting PT for my neck on Wednesday. I told my doc I'd go two three times to be fair. She was surprised I'd go once. Really wish the breast reduction surgery would have worked.

I hope there will be no surgery. From what I researched online today...it sounded just like me. Said treatment was usually PT and meds and that it usually is cured. May take more time for the tingling to go away, but so far I'm not feeling any tingling....that's a good thing. Still have to wait until Aug. 1 for the follow up, but I'll be calling now for the PT appt. Hopefully that can get started soon.

So glad that you finally got a diagnosis, and are going to begin treatment! What caused a slipped disc?
With PT, it can be cured? That is wonderful news Janet!
