Default Glad you found us

Although sorry you have been dealing with this for so long!!!

Now, the "fibro" diagnosis ~ for some - I'm sure it is legitimate. However, I have found in my experience in healthcare that it is a "catch all" diagnosis when the physicican can not get to the bottom of the patient's symptomatic problems. Just my 2 cents.

I would ask to have the c-spine re-read because radiologists can overlook issues with the spine. I am speaking as a patient advocate who has found this in the past. I would insist that it is re-read - and you should not be charged for it knowing that you have had c-spine surgery in the past- geez!!! This should have been mentioned in the reading at least

Now for the lumbar spine. It looks like you may have some degenerative changes in the lower back after having a discectomy. However, it is very difficult to tell where all of the pain is coming from from an MRI reading alone.
