Default symptoms worse than MRI findings

Judy,
I heard my "subjective complaints were worse than my objective findings" re MRIs and myelograms yet surgeon did perform 2 discectomies on me and with findings I've had over the years and subjective complaints would have performed from 3 level global fusion to 2 level ADR/hybrid surgery had I kept complaining of same pain levels or worse.

I think sometimes the findings just looked at as one or several seperate entities may not look as bad as the effect they create in totality on the affected and/or neighboring structures.

We know we wouldn't be complaining and limiting ourselves for nada...
