jettylou, I am considering going overseas for ADR surgery. But I want to wait to get this new MRI, and start asking my doctors for copies of my films and reports. I will also be asking my PM doc about getting a bone scan done. That might make surgery out of the question, but I hope it won't be a problem. No way to know unless I have the test.

So I did a little more investigating on my pain levels when laying down. I think that because I have pain when I move while laying down, and also as soon as I go to get up out of bed, that in my mind I equated that as having pain while laying down. But come to find out, I don't feel the pain when I am laying flat on my back. I will tell the neurosurgeon when I see him again, though it won't change my mind about letting him operate on me.
