Annapurna, what I thought might happen is that people with a lot more experience with me, perhaps someone with MS even, could give me more information on this.

Is it common to have these symptoms, all of them related to disc problems? Or can it be a mixture....I guess I framed my statements/questions wrong, because that's what I'm really asking. There are hundreds of you out there with spine issues, and the few I've spoken to all have different symptoms. And I don't get answers from the one or two specialists I've seen, who have dumped me in a matter of minutes, so I'm asking here. Sorry if I came across stupid enough to believe that someone patting my hand would make me sleep better at night.

Since I can't get another MRI for months, if at all because my GP has handed all 'special problems' like this over to the specialist, this is what I have for information right now, the internet. Maybe in your world having this done is simple. Not in our little village.

I'll go back to searching some more. And no, it's not keeping me up at night. Going to the bathroom three or four times is. The pain is. I'm a sensible person just searching for information, and am not freaking out, thanks.
