Yesterday, I had my cervical and lumbar MRI's ... hopefully no degeneration below. No pain at all in that area, but I know some have degeneration with no pain.
Dr. Hanson doesn't expect to see any, but, honestly, I would have to do some serious soul searching about going forward with surgery if it becomes necessary to go below L1.
I'm just not ready - at this point in my life - to have a fusion that extends into the lumbar area .
I know I'm putting the cart before the horse here (this process makes it more difficult than usual to focus on one step at a time!). This may not even end up being an issue ...
Y'all cross your fingers!
Regards,
Pam
