Neck MRI results

Ugh Catrin, so sorry to hear that. What a time you've had.

I know you're very reluctant to have any more surgery, with good reason AFAIC, but stenosis is one of the VERY few things that I might consider surgery for it if were me. Hope you and your doctors can come up with a plan.

Hugs to you.

Thanks Oakleaf. For this I AM spending some time on "Dr Google" - focusing on reputable sites - so my imagination has less room to run wild before seeing my chiro and DO (tomorrow and Friday). I also just made the mistake of re-reading the entire report and counting the number of bulging cervical disks (3), and all of the OTHER things going on with the disk where the severe stenosis is. Ugh. Time for hot chocolate, a soothing audiobook + some knitting I think.

Dang, Catrin, that stinks! Guess we should have been couch potatoes like my SIL, her version of exercise is walking to the fridge... but her danged joints still work.

I am sorry, Catrin. But, I would be taking the same approach as you. Study, read, and consult with the docs you trust. And, I do agree with Oakleaf. You are too young to give it up.
Sometimes I wonder if my body would not be in pain most of the time if I just sat on the couch, went to the mall, and maybe took a walk...
