Ron and EVERYONE else that responded to my question about the herniated disk I
Thank You all. I found out so much from everyone who either posted to the list
or to me personally. I just can't thank you enough. It is from the bottom of
my heart!
To keep you all up to date as to what is going on right now. I went to my GP
and he is sending me off to a neuro-surgeon on the 24th of this month,
(earliest I could get in) and asked him to order another MRI to show the
status of the disk. I also think at this point that I will be having a
mylogram. He put me on Percassette as well as DayPro, (anti-inflammatory/pain
pill) as well as Flexoral, muscle relaxer. I am also in a neck brace to keep
my neck in line with my spine. It is also supposed to cut down on the muscle
spasms.
I am now sleeping a straight 5-6 hours through the night. Tired all day long
but hey I'll take that. The muscle spasms have started coming back the last
couple days, and I did not expect that so soon. If they continue, I know I can
call my GP and get some relief or answers. That in itself is reassuring.
