Well i picked up copies of the MRI today that i had done back on 9-11-06. I was looking at them after i got home from work, and the herniated disc that i have between L5 / S1 looks to be protruding out pretty far. I am no doctor, but imo, it looks to be pretty bad. I have 2 appointments next week with 2 different doctors as to get 2 opinions about my condition. I know several people on here have said before that they have herniated disks too, and ride for therapy and such, but i just dont like the looks of what i am seeing in the MRI's. The way that my family doctor told my wife was ".... has your husband seen a back specialist yet?" and when she said that i havent, he said "..... he needs to, he has a fairly bad herniated disk".
My first appointment is sept 26th, and the other is sept 27th. i am hoping that this can be resolved without surgery, but i guess i will have to wait to see what the docs say.
I know that i have had quite a few days with some severe pain in my back, groin area, and down my legs.
keep me in your thoughts next week on tuesday and wednsday. I will post updates after i find out what the docs want to do.
