I had an MRI last week . The results roughly were:
5 bulging discs, most with disc desiccation.
Two of them are constricting the thecal sac and almost completely effacing the CSF column around the lumbar nerve roots.
I have multilevel facet arthropathy from L2/3 down to L5/S1.
I have been on morphine for a number of years for back and neck pain.
The doctor prescribed Lyrica for me to try, 75mg twice a day, and complete best rest.
My usual doctor was away and not back until next week .
I have an appointment October 15th at the hospital to see the neuronal department.
Has anyone else had this problem, obviously they must hav 3, but can anyone give me any idea what to expect.
Christine.
