Yesterday I went to the Orthopedic doctor, Brad Stovall, to find out the results of the MRI on my neck. The wait in the dreaded “room” wasn’t as bad this time. A funny side note is that there was a picture, that which looked to me like a centipede. Duh, realizing a few minutes later it was a spine, (see below).
He did not put up the pictures so I can see the damage. The“room” didn’t have the light up thing that my neurologist uses to go over the MRI’s . I didn’t think to ask. Anyway he said I have herniated disc’s on both sides and also some arthritis. There’s no fixing it, only deal with pain management. He prescribed Gabapentin 100 mg capsules and scheduled me for a shot of steroids.
