[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1788916, member: 18945"] Don't wait so late that you've physically worn yourself out too much to enjoy it. Got the text summary of last month's MRI of my back. I see a neurologist tomorrow and my bone/joint doctor next week. Both appointments are in Temple and it's going to be a painful drive. The results don't look too good in my layman's eyes. It has been a ;long arduous journey to try to get something done. I first 'presented' to Baylor Scott and White here in Copperas Cove May 19 2022 with sciatica. Saturday will be 9 months. If I were a woman and had sex that day, I would have already carried to full term and dropped a kid. Tomorrow, I [B][I]MAY[/I][/B] finally find out what is wrong and get a plan of treatment. (probably not tho) Seems to be something wrong in every joint between my neck and butt. The only good thing I see is that my back isn't broken anywhere.. [I]FINDINGS: There is grade 1 anterolisthesis at L5-S1 measuring 9 mm. Suspected L5 pars defects. Partial osseous fusion of the L5-S1 disc space. There is otherwise mild multilevel disc degeneration with loss of disc space height and T2 signal. The vertebral body heights are maintained. The marrow signal intensity is normal. There is no evidence of acute fracture. The conus terminates at the L1 level and is normal in morphology. Cholelithiasis within the visualized gallbladder.
