I had a Myelogram and CT yesterday, after the Flexeril false start last week, and got the results today.
I AM HEALED!! Hallelujah!! All of this back pain and leg weakness and pain..its just not there. I don't know what it is, but I guess it isn't what I am feeling.
3 years ago an MRI showed a ruptured disc at L4-L5. I was told by surgeons (more than one) at that time due to its location and the active AS, "that surgery was not advised because of the extreme chance of paralysis". Now its evidently healed itself. A nearly perfect picture of a spine, I guess? In the surgeons words "some disc degeneration and mild spondylolisthesis (easy for him to say) of L3-L4. No disc herniation or nerve impingement is noted.." Hhhmmmmmmmm
SO! Moving forward, my next adventure into the world of medical-masochistic pleasures is a Discogram! Ah Ha, Ah Ha
Now I lived through the 70's and 80's, and really hated the whole Disco thing then. I don't know why its going to be any better in 2K10..I guess the doctor wears a leisure suit, platform shoes and sticks needles into the discs in my spine while doing the Hustle with the nurses under a mirrored ball.. Ala Studio 54!! I just hope that they remember which patron gets the good drugs before the party!
