Happy Caturday
I'm giving a quick update on the results from the torture chamber. The MRI shows arthritis throughout the spine. I have straight back syndrome because of this. I still have the fluid on both sides of the spine so surgery is not warranted at this time. I will be given some kind of injection in my neck then later in the thoracic spine when I see the spine doctor. I was told there are two each and they can last as long as a year.
This won't straighten me but it will take away or at least reduce the pain. The PA told me posture exercises after I have the injections may help somewhat.
So, finally, after five years, an answer.

Sandra, So sweet...Hug Andreja!
Finally, let's hope this brings some relief. It's taken them long enough to at least find out what's up.
And now that explains the mobility issues and why you get so sore after doing certain kinds of work. Gosh, what the pits.
I hope some treatment sure helps!
It’s been quite a journey for you to reach this point, but it’s good to get the pain meds and I hope this gives you the relief you need.
That all sounds fairly positive. I hope the injections will give you some desperately-sought relief from the pain.
Glad you got an answer and a Treatment Plan set up to reduce the suffering you're experiencing and get some relief.
At least you finally got a response! Hope you can now get some relief! Your cats are so smart!
So happy you finally have an answer. Now to pray the shots work!!!!!
I hope the shots help...Sending hugs!
FINALLY an answer! I'm glad you got the information, but sorry that you have to go through all that shit to help get it straightened out.
I'm glad you finally have an answer. Hopefully the injections will help.
PS. Finally some abnormal test results for me. I've been saying something's wrong for several years and not being heard. Dismissed, I believe is the phrase. I'm not seriously ill, but I do need some medical help. I got *such* a rush when I saw 'abnormal' on some of my blood test results. LOL. I felt so vindicated!!!!
Glad to know that you now have a course of action that can help.
Thank you, Andreja.
It's shameful how this is so common among women, isn't it Boud.
I'm lost for words, Val. I do have some hope.
So do I. Denise.
Thanks, nick.
Thank you, Dawn.
Good taste in literature, Lori
I'm worried it will be a while before I get in to have the injections, Miss Merry.
Thank you, e.
It's shameful, Ami.
Fingers crossed, Pixie.
This is very good news, Ami. We take our wins when we get them.
I sure hope so, Tommy.
Oh no Sandra. I had to look this up as I have never heard of this. A bad back is no fun; had one for years. At least you have answers now.
Yes, that does help, Gill.
I'm glad you finally have answers on what is going on. That is always a bit of relief. Hopefully the treatment and exercises will help you a lot.
I'm so glad they found an answer, at least. I hope the treatments and exercises can help.
Oh Sandra, I am so happy that you are on the road to either less pain or no pain!!! Thank you so much for sharing this update.
It is a relief, Lori. Not knowing weighs a person down.
Me, too Cheerful.
You are welcome. Thank you for your positive thoughts. Linda.
I am so glad to hear this. No quick fix, it seems, but at least some relief.
I sure hope so, Sue.
