  • Do you get pain from each bump on the road or do you just know it's not doing it any good?

    I dunno, I'm maybe putting too much importance on the scan.

    I want to know the root cause and if I can find that out without a scan then so much the better.

  • My pain comes in bouts, so if I am not having a flare up, I don't feel much at all whatever I do, if I have having a flare up, I would really struggle to move properly. Any bump or vibration contribute to the problem as the discs are shock absorbers that have been damaged... so I was told...

    I really hope your scan would give you some answers, but MRI scans are only up to about 90% accurate. So if the 1st scan doesn't reveal any issue and the docs can't give you any explanation, it's worth insisting for a 2nd one... also if it's a muscular problem, I am pretty sure an ultrasound scan might be better, so ask for both!

    I had about 6 scans on my knee before they finally found out what the problem is, which is chronic sprain sth sth, so I was lucky or unlucky on the last scan my knee was swollen inside, not with the previous scans...
