Apparently whenever you scan a spine, even if you feel fine and have absolutely no pain it's possible to see bad stuff (not sure what specifically). I suppose that's why it's important to stay away from surgeons who operate unnecessarily as they can often want to fix things that aren't even symptomatic! So we're not living on borrowed time (phew). I guess just good to know if you ever actually see that state of your own spine. <br /><br />I'm off to the doctor as we speak so hopefully will have some news soon. Thanks for your good wishes!Taronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14931890597877028988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1327733828484879907.post-46895216610355779732011-08-05T21:36:09.151+01:002011-08-05T21:36:09.151+01:00Have had a couple of MRI's.

Second time... after a while, all that rhythmic thumping almost put me to sleep. Serious.<br /><br />Possibly because I was so wired and anxious for days & days before it.<br /><br />Hopefully they will find something they can point their fingers on, and you can get to swinging a racket. Good to know that the warranty expires before 35, in which case someone like me (50) is living on borrowed time. All the best to you!Beverly Diehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392288953821757887noreply@blogger.com
