My neck

OK, I had my MRI and Xrays. MRI was "limited" due to too many fillings and a large metal crown. Once again, I peeked (I know I am naughty) at my results at work. I have degenerative spondylosis of C4-5. It is mild, so I am praying a few NSAID patches, maybe some PT and even a cortisone shot and I'll be good for a few years? Funny how our priorities change, but no surgery and no cancer--well that sounds like a very Merry Christmas. What's a little chronic pain? :-)

    So
    You sound like you're making plans to limp through another few years with an old car...

    Sorry you're in pain, but happy no cancer. And good for you peeking at your own results!

    Naughty Girl! Lol
    Yeah no "c". !!!!! what a relief! Thrilled..who'd think we' be "yeahing" a neck problem?

    Have you ever considered an epidural injection? Have a relative and friend who have them for neck, bulging disks, and lower back degeneration of the disks..each have them 4 times a year...makes them good to go! Done by a radiologist, with 15 minutes of sedation....Maybe someting to look into...anything that relieves pain is a good thing!

    You're a naughty girl but I, too, am glad you peeked! How do you spell r e l I e f?

    Hugs, Nancy

    Chronic pain in the neck is a real
    pain in the a** but it beats the alternative. Hope the alternatives help with the pain and you have a long life, pain or not.
