Hello you lovely lot.
Had dr's appointment today as if you saw my last post, my nurse at last 3 monthly B12 injection wanted me to see a Haemotologist after I told her of my symptoms.
Anyway, as you probably know from all my waffling on on here, that I have DDD in 5 discs in my back, discs L2-3-5 & S1. & also disc wear in my neck due to years of manual work & an injury,
I had a recent MRI through pain clinic as my back is getting much worse. The Nurse specialist at Pain Clinic rang with results & said I have 2 types of degeneration but not much difference from MRI I had back in 2011.
I asked her if an MRI showed up nerve damage & she said it wouldn't, which I thought really strange???
As my back has got much worse my neck is now worse & I keep getting like a locking at the back of my neck & what I can only describe as an electric shock once I can move it again.
I put all the pain in my back, legs & sciatica down to DDD, but am thinking now that the PA & B12 deficiency have over the years of not being diagnosed, all added to it.
My question is, when I do see the Neurologist, will they be able to confirm this & look into what's going on?
Thank you as always!
Ritchie
