FrownLast week I had a MRI on my low back, secondary to extreme pain after fallig/at a store June 3rd. I sprained my rt shoulder and arm, and lt knee.In physical thereapy for my shoulder/arm .

My results of  my MRI came back with herniated disc from th L1 to S2, every disc is bad, they al l have degenerative disc disease 5 lumbar and 3 Sacral disc. Also I have 2 perineural cyst on the L5 -S1 S2-S3 . I was referred back to my neurosurgeon, cant get in until July 19th. Im sure he will recommend the cyst to be taken off, but I dont know if he will do fusion on my back, too much disease going on. I haven't been able to sleep, all I think about is what if he suggest surgery, what will I do? After having the 4 disc in my neck fused in Sept, and I still not doing well with it, I just don't know. The problem is if my neck and low back are this bad, what will the thoracic spine look like, we've never done a MRI on it. WOW just too much ti think about, it is making me sick. My lawyer for a law suit against the store ia just taking this all in.He wants to know everything that is going on. My disability lawyer want to now it all too.

I have cried for a few days now, I am so depressed. They upped my hydrocodoine to 15mg every 3 hrs, along with this Fentanyl patch and Valium, I really haven't got much relieve for pain, but it sure makes me tired. Everyone has tried to cheer me up but Im too worried about what is going to happen now. Just scared I guess.

Well my meds are hitting me pretty hard now, barely can keep my eyes open, so I need to quit and rest.
