This was completely open ... like I said it was not too bad ...

Mine was like Monte's. I laid down and they slid me into this tube that was tight and all around me.

You got lucky as my MRI scans were the small ones where your face is pratically touching the damn top of the thing.

i really want to get an MRI but my dr. is taking this slow, like its no big deal. well thats cause he doesnt have to be in pain like i do.

get a second opinion

and they found nothing in either ...

I also went through some type of electro shock thing ... Don't remember what it's called.

They take long thin neddles and stick them in your leg and ankle. I think they try to get them next to the nerves, then they shock the piss out of you. That day was not a good day.

LOL had that one done too and its a bitch

You add in the head, neck and legs and that prolly explains why the price was so high!

$2500 is standard

I've been in an MRI for an hour just for my heart and then again for my head.

well i know my insurance is good. and like i said if its like 80/20 i pay 20% thats fine i can pay that no prob. i dont know. i'm just sad about all this. i quit my saturday job at ralphs, i can go back prolly late spring or summer, but i loved working their, and will miss the 200-300 for a night working. but i cant do it, i cant be on my feet for 10hrs. being on my feet for 10minutes hurts. sitting and lying down is fine. standing up hurts. sorry to bother you all with this crap. and thank you all for your support and help. it means the world to me

you are not bothering any of us Dimer, we just wish it would get better for you and soon

[wayne1218]

I don't know why i do that to myself and let it go.


Oh, by the way,

[garth]

thanks garth. i really just wanna feel better, i dont care if i have surgery or not. i just want to know what exactly is wrong and how it can be fixed. thats really it. i hate being hurt. this sucks

I'm just saying to educate yourself a little before submitting to back surgery. Surgery for back problems is usually a last resort after exhausting other treatment options. Many times with back surgery the cure can be worse than the problem. And it's only indicated for a small percentage of back problems. Here's a link to an article...there are many more sources of info out there.
