Thanks Allan,
I believe I had all the tests out there. I've seen half a dozen Dr.'s and I've had more MRI's than I can count, Xrays, 2 discograms, Mylograms, CT scans, bone scans, and a Dexa scan because of the number of injections I had. The last Bone scan I had it showed some uptake at the facets, but nothing at that time that concerned them and the MRI I had in January the facets looked fine. The latest MRI last week showed detoriation of the facets bilaterly and more endplate changes. Both Disco's I had were about 2 years apart and showed L3/4 and L4/5 as my pain generators.
I'm just so tired I can't explain I just want the nightmare to end, and everytime there was an opportunity to have ADR something through a wrench in the plan. I'm tired of the bandaid approach, I'll done that for almost 5 years with no long lasting relief I just scared to take the leap.
Thanks for your advice,
Take care,
Melissa
