Well, got a call from the spine center, seems my doctor is having second guesses as to what to do, so she is sending me to her counterpart in a town east of here (golf community, richey rich area).
The phone call I received this morning was nurse explaining a dye and mri scan to see what is going on between the L3 to L5 areas.
She explained it was to find the nerves that were causing the problem so that they could "BURN" them.
WTH?!! (What the heck)
Anyone ever had this done?
She says that the procedure can help and would probably last at least a year.
I am up for anything as long as the pain is controlled or goes away, but am not sure how it will affect the rest of my body or extremities.
Will the pain loss cause problems with the nerves?
Will I be numb in other areas?
If I cut myself will I be in danger of bleeding out and not knowing unless I look down?
ROFL... I know... I will be asking the Doc's about it, but thought I would get some "real" answers from folks who might have experienced it first hand.
