We Need Doctor Michael!!!


Recommended Posts

I finally had it with the ongoing awful back pain I’ve been dealing with…. for years. I always blamed it on my scoliosis. But the past few years shoveling snow has been getting harder (very painful lower back). So I finally saw my doctor about it yesterday (the 10 th). Took X-rays and got the diagnosis last night.

 

Keeping family tradition, (Dad had rheumatoid arthritis) I have a form of arthritis in my spine. Or as they call it: “Facet Arthropathy”. Haven’t heard from the doc yet, so I’m wondering what his plan will be. I am not looking forward to any injections in my back if that’s what he plans. 🥺

 

One of the explanations was: “Multilevel degenerative changes of the lumbar spine, including moderate disc height loss at L5-S1, mild disc height loss at L3-L4 and facet arthropathy throughout the lumbar spine.”

 

I think this also answers my question as to the reason my neck snaps, crackles and pops at times.

 

 

Isaiah 33:24  "And no resident will say: “I am sick.”
