appointment with Dr. Bridwell

[Guest guest]

Just got a call back from Dr. Bridwell's assistant and have an appointment to

see him on Monday, Sept. 20. To only have to wait seven weeks is pretty good.

I need some answers. Still having the nerve pain and it's getting worse.

Epidurals didn't help. Latest x-ray showed an increase from 69 to 74 degrees

in curvature. Am hoping to have an EMG soon to help pinpoint exact nerve

damage. Questions I am hoping to have answered: What's going on in my spine?

Can it be corrected? If I have to live with the pain, will it get any worse,

better, or stay the same? What might happen as I get older; how fast will the

spine deteriorate?
