Hi everyone...I had my follow up today on the MRI I had done. The MRI showed a subtle disc bulge (without narrowing of significance) at C4-C5, C5-C6 and C6-C7 (That's as much as I could interpret from my reading)...so ...my doctor does not think that this is causing my horrendous arm pain but is considering Thoracic Outlet Syndrome...(Has anyone else ever heard of this or does anyone know much about this?) He wants me to see a neurologist for an EMG. I'm wondering if this is one of those joys of having scoliosis. I can't get into my spine specialist yet but will try again to call and get in.
I'm so frustrated...I feel like no one can figure me out and that I'm just some freak of nature...I know life could be so much worse and I keep telling myself that but it's hard not to feel a bit sorry for myself and cry just a little bit. The pain is horrendous...the last 3 days have almost been unbearable.
THanks for listening and for any suggestions you may have.
Really tryin hard to be
Always Smilin'
(but these last 2 months have sure been a test for me)
Oh, and also, I've been experiencing a ton more back cracking when I stand up...I just CANNOT stand the sound that makes...gives me the heeby jeebies. Don't know what that's all about
