Re: Chris's Myelogram Results

June 25, 2003

I understand you being upset, try not to work yourself up tho. The pain I have

in my low back - well that's where I've had 2 surgeries but no tests are really

showing anything that would answer why I am still having severe pain there. The

scar tissue could be some of it but I know how discouraging it is knowing you're

in pain but the test shows nothing. Did you see your doctor or did you get the

results youself? Maybe it's time to talk to another doctor, not b/c yours isnt

good, but maybe b/c another one can see something the first didn't or have some

idea that the other didn't think of. Think about that, you never know. Also have

a different doc look at your myelogram results. I'm not sure how those work as I

haven't had one (so far) but with MRI's doctors can see things differently than

the radiologist that reads them day after day, people are human and one doctor

can miss something another doctor can pick up on quickly. Take it easy tho, I

know how frustrating it is and ho

w mad you can get, but just take it one day at a time. Remember.. you read the

myleogram results, a doctor may see something you're not seeing, that's one

reason they don't really want us patients seeing test results b4 our doctor can

go over them with us, but I'm just too impatient. I freaked when I got my MRI

results back a couple weeks ago showing a disk is bad in my neck, nobody here

responded to my post of the results so I just decided to me it looks bad b/c I

am reading key words that were used when I got my MRI of my low back and had

surgery after that. I don't know what doc will say on Monday, hopefully that she

doesn't think surgery right now is necessary just like it isn't for another bad

disk we found in my low back, but eventually I am looking at another low back

surgery and a neck surgery I'm guessing, but I'll know about the neck one when I

talk to her. Take it easy and wait till you talk to your doc. Sorry I can't

really help you more.

Re: Movies...

> Connie Oh connie I am so upset. I got to read the results of the myleogram I

had on last friday, it doesn't really show much of anything to explain the pain

I am having. I feel so bad, I feel people now will say its not there, connie

its there, I'm in terrible pain. I don't understand why they don't find

something concreat. I am so depressed with this new news that I just feel ready

to give up. You all help please. Chris
