Default Re: My Story

Parishht,

Take it easy and do what the doctor says for now. *If that doesn't work, find another doctor!

But it sounds like you did the right thing. *My friend Chad just had 3 vertabrae fused together in his lower back with titanium rods and pins. *He says the pain he had before is gone. *He just has to take it easy for a while before doing anything too strenuous.

He's 33 and I'm soon to be 34. *

Actually, a couple of years ago I went to have an MRI done due to this popping noise I'd hear sometimes when I'd swallow (spit that is). *Well when the doc saw the x-rays they left a real serious voicemail on my answering machine telling me I'd better get there asap!

When I got there I was freakin scare to death. *I was like, how long have I got doc? *But the MRI had shown where 2 of the vertabrae in my neck were out of place. *They wanted to put me in a neck brace and schedule surgery. *Since I had NO pain and have NO pain now - I just can't see doing that. *I've opted to take it easy on the neck until surgery is necessary. *I may be screwing up by not having the surgery - who knows. *

But I think my wife might leave me if I did have the surgery lol!
