MRI RESULTS...WHAT DO THESE IMAGES MEAN?

[jennidooda]

Can you help me make sense of my MRI's of my back?@&$%*@$%???

I had not had any fusions done, I refuse because it would limit what little bit of mobility I do have. But some people are differant and it is also important as to where at on cervical I think if it was from prob C-4 up would be ok wouldn't lose much movement from being that high up, but any thing lower just scares me! Still doing nerve blocks now till they dont work anymore. Still doing TPI in back and they give me more relife than the blocks. If yours is from DDD like alot of mine is? My pain DR is sending me to Ohio State Hosp. when the time comes to put jell packs between my discs. Alot of people says it helps and wouldn't limit mobility as much as fusion. (something to look into ) I hoped I helped a little!! Drop me a line if I can help with anything else.

I read your comment about having several MRI's and I was curious if you have had any cervical fusions and what the results were?  Results meaning did they give you back your life?  Or is all this surgery garbage just that and I have been had?

Appreciate your comments
