MRI Results...

The results are in...you'd think I'd be a bit more relieved than I am, considering that I now have an answer to ten years of pain!

I have a bulged disc (between C5-C6), protruding 2mm onto the sac that surrounds the spinal cord. The radial nerve is affected by these discs...which means that this is probably what caused my arm issues all these years...I know that my surgeon did find things when he went into my arm, so I'm not doubting that they helped (I did feel the improvement), but it all stems from the neck...

Anyway, bottom line: if we don't get this disc into place, I'll be having surgery before I'm 45. So, physical therapy it is :)

Thank you all for your prayers and concerns!
