Hi Sue,
I was quite satisfied after meeting this OS doc. He did answer most of my concerns. yes. i did tell him about my new left side symptoms, however subtle or fleeting they are. he did say that he might repeat my MRI prior to the MICF, yes my MRI is just 2 weeks old at this time and my pain is 3 weeks old - grrrrrrr -
Like Mark, Allan, Chalres and Rich have suggested - I really need to ask my doc whether the pain in the back of my neck is from the disc? and would I need a discogram. Though for sure the weakness is from nerve compression and I hope that this pain in the back of neck - is actually from the annulus tear - and resolve in 6-12 weeks like they say - they usually do.
I hope all goes well
Wishing luk
