Your mention of MRI appt starts my issue with my claustrophobia.  Can't explain to anyone who doesn't have this goofy quirk.  Forget the "open" label.  In my head it is not open.  Forget the medication.  Close my eyes so I can't see where I am.  I'll suffer through maniac nightmares for at least a couple months after.  I have to refuse them even putting "Teds" on me.  Anesthesia, oxygen mask on, teds on, procedure, teds off, wakeup juice -- that's the routine my md's follow.  No fun at all!  I find out Friday.

I got my MRI report  do I know what i means no LOL  my friend is good at this stuff here is what she had to say.  I wil probably have to wait to talk to dr. MOnday. I go to PT at 500 but hty close at 600  Still didnt get mri on arm     Maybe tomorrow  oh I sent copy of report.  LOL 

Lori.
So far I can tell you this
You have spinal stenosis ( i have that too) it can cause pressure in your spine and pinch nerves too.
Sounds like you also have a couple bulging disc's. I had one. They can heal in time.  Unless you don't take care of yourself then you could rupture a disc.
Some of its age related but yours is a little worse than just age degeneration.

Still reading
.Sounds like this too. Maybe. You need to find out what grade these things are
 If 1 mild or 5 worst.
If mild, no surgery. Usually meds, PT  restricted activity.
Don't hold me to my diagnosis.   I'm not a doctor. I only play one on the internet 😘 (see attatchment

[Phyl]

Good Night and SEDs

Safe travels Paulie. And, have fun.

Good morning have a good time Paulie Hi Phyl, Yes now I jus need to know the next steps if any...  id I say I get a 5th injection for knee.  I googled some take 5 and the one my insurance approved is 5  My knees are only a little better I did a lot yesterday cooking walking etc and my painrating is an 8 this morning 4. I will talk to him Tuesday   I dont think shots are working    I know they take time but its over a month now I forgot TGIF!!!!

[jicaji]

Good morning all.

Little by little my back seems to be a bit better.  I actually did a little food shopping by myself yesterday....first time in about 4 weeks.  the shopping cart was a big help LOL.  My husband is going to do the rest today.

I need to get out more....push myself as much as possible.  I've been watching too much tV/news and it's really scary to keep hearing all the "stuff" that's going on.  Enough.

Well, have a good weekend everyone. 

Hi Paulie, LB, Phyl, Puff.

[Phyl]

Hi everyone...
Cheers... 🙏 's  all around.

{{{jicaji}}} great to see you here. Wonderful news on your recovery too.   Thank God for hubbies.

{{{LB}}} hopefully your knees will inprove soon.  Do you have some arthritis in knees? If so---I use diclofenac sodium  gel generic  for Voltaren gel, I believe. Works really fast too.
