I ... don't know what I'm looking at. I'm shit at these, I swear.

What's wrong? How are you?

I *think* it's a pinched nerve in his back? Maybe?

[veronica_rich]

Well, that's no good. But it is better than what I was thinking!

Started as one when I was 18, I'm 41 now. Detailed explanation below. How you been, buddy? It's been a minute!

:o(

ZING! Post discectomy/laminectomy even.

Indeed, buddy - hopefully I'll get back into the swing of this.

This is a comparison from the first image, which was a year and a half ago and the one from Monday. First image is a herniated, degenerative disc (L-5/S-1 is correct) was taken prior to my discectomy surgery 6 months ago. Same herniation, only less of the actual disc left to do so. Second two images are with contrast and without, 4 days ago

Hey lovey, it is what it is. I just want to know so that I can get treated properly and learn what to do to move forward. Know what I mean?

Likewise, and keep me in the loop on this thread!

I'm sorry to read all that. I didn't know your health was not good. I have a friend diagnosed almost 13 years with MS, in her forties, doing really pretty well, so there's hope.
