Scooter Bob Posted June 3, 2011 Share #1 Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) UPDATED info at post#23. Caution!! x-rated, not, xrayed:scratchchin:, not, MRI'd, ya that's it. So I've got this CD of my MRI last week, to take from my first Chiropractor to the new on with the decompression therapy machine. You know I couldn't pass up a look see. Now, I'm no doctor, but I did stay at a Super 8 a couple months ago:scratchchin:, and this can't be good. Here's a pic of my insides:Im not listening to, and that long white thing to the right of all the vertibraes is the bundle of nerves running down through my spine. There Jeff, Something to talk about besides MD in Ohio. Later, Scooter Bob Edited June 9, 2011 by Scooter Bob added update note Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaggletooth Posted June 3, 2011 Share #3 Posted June 3, 2011 I had something like that done a while back. The Doc x-rayed what was causing me the agravation.

Hmm, either you read a reply of mine to Dingy's thread, or you've been in this spot too, or you stayed at a Holiday Inn express last night. Good Diagnosis anyways.

Scooter Bob Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share #13 Posted June 4, 2011 HI HO, HI HO, it's under the knife I go... We had the Chiropractor look at the MRI this morning, and since yesterdays adjustment only helped for half an hour, he didn't even bother adjusting today. After seeing the pics, he said there's no way adjustments are going to fix this. He's going to start looking for a surgeon for me. I can't wait, I hope we can get this done soon. Should know more Monday or Tuesday. Later, Scooter Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Bob Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share #23 Posted June 9, 2011 So my 2nd Chiropractor took a look at my MRI images last Saturday and said adjusting won't help, we need to find a surgeon. Trying to find a neorosurgeon that could see me in a reasonable amount of time, and was in my health plan took a bit, but... I found one Wednesday afternoon and took them my referal letter and the MRI cd right after work. They scheduled me at their earliest opening for a visit 8 days later, but said they would have the Doctor look at the MRI right away. They called me at 10 am Thursday morning (18 hours after dropping off the stuff) and said they wanted to see me right away and they wanted to operate right away on Monday morning. So off I go to meet the doc, he checks me out, discusses the procedure, sends me to the lab, then the admissions office. Relief is just a few days away, everything's all set. I'll keep ya'll posted, Scooter Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted June 9, 2011 Share #24 Posted June 9, 2011 I don't imagine I can get a surgery scheduled that quick. I told you it could happen quick, You just barely missed, missing MD. Then Jeff would have to entertain Jeff while helping Jeff while Jeff did......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
