Guest guest Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 I seen the surgeon, He ruled out that there was anything wrong with my spine, which confused the heck out of me. Ummm... I seen the report. He basicly told me that the TC has nothing to do with my pain, that there have been studies as far back as the 70's and there is no proven facts to support that TC,s cause the pain or that the procedures to correct them help. I let him know that I have been researching and joined support groups that infact have had work done and it helps. My husband was there to support me. He asked; if there was nothing wrong with my back then why can't I sleep in the bed? The Dr's answer to that was: that he wan't to do another MRI on my upper spine and a pelvic exam. that thelower Spine is fine. He also wants to have a nerve study done on me to find out why I have all the pings and pangs as he called them. He prescibed a anti-inflam med but I could not afford it. He didn't even bring up my weight LOL.. I was happy about that. Have any of you done the nerve study? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
