Ha, the MRI did indeed give a clear enough diagnose, plus more, they have found something else could be far more serious, which now warrants another MRI. Oh joy of hospital visits.
Some MRIs were repeats just to keep taps on things, some were for my knee. The reason why I have had so many is because I was told MRI is only about 90% accurate and some of my MRIs show something that is totally way off the mark like everything is fine and dandy when it clearly isn't, maybe just the skills of the technicians, I dont know...
I can't remember the exact details of the problem of my back, but it's rouhgly damage between C3/C4 and C5/C6. Doctors have already said it's not gonna get better and will only get worst as I get older... I bloody hope they are wrong.
NHS physios have pretty much shown me where the door is as they are not interested in treating me any longer, private one I just go whenever I can afford.
Tablets wise, I should really be on every medical textbook and charge medical students to examine me - I am extremely intolerant to any neuropathic / nerve related meds. I have been drunk, high, angry, tearful, unable to get our of bed, having unlimted amount of energy etc. I always end up getting the worst side effects and need to come off meds...
I am waiting for another injection, which has been over 10 months wait and counting- they told me the way it works is 1st timers alwasy get the jump the queue, not who needs it the most or been on the list for too long...
