No I am not having a baby...
The spine doc I saw yesterday suggested I try an epidural, although he wasn't convinced it would really help, since the cortizone shots didn't do much of anything, but he suggested it and it was up to me to decide.
So have any of you had it or no?
My doc also said that most likely what I had was degenerative disc desease. Which is what I figured I had. (you know there are times when I'd rather not be right...) He said fusion, but only as a last resort, and leave it and deal with it until it gets too bad, then talk about fusion. He is very reluctant to do fusion at this time.
I like him too, he's a good soctor and he came across as being concerned for me, and not just a number. We also talked a bit about Dr Bradford, who did my surgery. He had asked who did my surgery, and when I told him his eyebrows went up, it was kind of funny. I told him I had been in contact with him just recently, and so we talked for a few minutes about that. Overall I like this doctor, I wasn't sure when I made the appointment because to get it I ran into a few annoying people, but the doctor is very nice.
