Emzee, My husband had a bad back from the military, this Feb he was working in the yard and his back let go. I posted most of this in Feb. He went to the nurosurgen who ordered MRI, had that done and then also the Dr. ordered a miligram, got that done. Then it was some choices to make. Have full back surgery,get shots, or have a minor sugery which would not do much. Since he has already gotten a shot in his neck and it did good we decided to go with the shots. I think they are some sort of steoid, but not sure. had shots done March and April and he felt pretty good.Still has to take pain meds but lower doeses but is able to live a full life, just being more careful until he lifted a 50lb of dog food that why the new shots. Some of what he has are herniated disc and bulging discs,and a few more things eventually he will probably need back sugery but the Dr. feels that if he feels o.k. with shots that is what he is sticking with.So tomorrow is the shot day.
Thank you all for writing positive about the my cancer thats Wed. Let you all know how it all works out. Glad to be able to talk what is on my mind in ths forum. As I have said I do the worrying. Thank you all and EMZEE get the MRI and go from there.
