Oh we finally heard back from the doctor about hubby’s MRI
4 out of his 7 cervical (neck) discs are damaged. At least 2 discs are fully ruptured, 1 is either mildly ruptured or severely bulged, and the last is moderately bulged.
So she said she can do no more for him and he needs to see a neurologist. But she did refill the Flexeril.
We figure he won’t get an appt until next week because of the holiday.
I feel bad for him. I have 2 or 3 ruptured lumbar discs and an anular tear in another. Totally and completely sucks but since I’ve lost the weight my back has only “gone out” once.
It’s different with the neck. I don’t think weight has much to do with compressing neck discs.
His is 100% activity related. Just for reference last year he chain sawed, dragged out from the woods, loaded into a trailer, unloaded from trailer, and the axe chopped 10 cords of wood...by himself! He roofed our house. he hand built a shed, he does everything.
Poor guys in for a rude awakening.
