Neck MRI results

[Catrin]

Wow Flying Scot, just wow! So glad you're doing so well 15 years later after all that!

My situation has been long-term. It looks like that only real difference between you in 2001 and me now is I've only one herniation, the other disks are bulging only - outside of that our MRI results look remarkably similar. Apparently the herniation + nerve root compression are in an unusual place - leave it to me! Next is a neurological consult that will include a nerve/muscle interaction test to attempt to determine how permenant my damage may already be, and also to help us determine how quickly that surgery needs to be done I won't accept any bets of sooner over later...

I've had neurological symptoms since my MTB injury in 2011 and they've checked things from time to time. Sometimes I think having a high tolerance for pain and being stubborn can work against us as well as for us. I DO ignore things, especially if I don't want to hear the answer. I really didn't think things had progressed this far however, but such is life. Thanks for sharing your experience with me, it IS good to hear of your positive outcome.
