Oh joy!

I just got the results back from my MRI.

Three herniated discs in my upper/mid back.

I've been hurting for about six months with spasms that almost cause me to black out.

I kind of figured I had at least one herniated disc, three was a bit of a surprise.

Consult has been sent to the spine guys.

This back stuff is getting REALLY old, I've been dealing with it for 41 years.

Well crap. The good news is techniques have gotten much better even over the last 10 years.

Hope they get you some relief.

I know how that goes. You have my sympathy.

That sucks. Hope they can fix you up.

You don't do things halfway do you?

Prayers for healing.

That sucks, hope they can get you fixed up soon.

What's the fun in that?

I'm hoping I can get by on injections for a while. I really don't want surgery. I have yet to have a year here in Texas where I haven't spent time in the hospital.

Hope everything works out for the best!

A cratered back sucks, no relief sucks worse!

 

[easy rider]

Hope things work out for you.

 

[Dawico]

I feel your pain.

Hope they can do something for you.

Check into something called Vax-D. Spinal decompression via a physical pulling of the spine. Non surgical. Worked wonders for me. Good luck with whatever treatment you go with.

Both my mid and lower back were screwed this morning. I couldn't find a neutral position that didn't make one of them worse. The lower back finally quit hurting so much but the mid back decided to go to 11.

Years ago I had back problems they prescribed something called parafon forte that helped tremendously but not sure they give that out anymore.

^couldn't agree more with this, although not familiar with that specific treatment name.

Three herniated discs in my upper/mid back.

Take a look at these - depending on the specifics, you may find it to be extremely effective after a bit of repeated use (definately run it by your doc first, though):

I don't know VAX D, but have an in-law who had herniated discs and used a Teeter inversion table and swore that it fixed him up. I borrowed it for a similar issue and it helped. Maybe consider it?
