Ok... we're HOME!!! It was a snap! Those folks at the hospital were AWESOME!!

Here are some "samples" of tonight's exams... wish I knew more what I was looking for/at..

and here's a snapshot of the MRI

Don't yall think these make me look "THINNER"?

Royalscott · 06-11-2008, 10:50 PM

Looks like you have a touch of gas there Al

I am hoping for best outcome and that no surgery will be needed.

BarbMazz · 06-11-2008, 11:02 PM

Allen! You're a skeleton!

I whipped out my MRI films to compare. You'll be glad to hear that your back doesn't look like my back. lol

I'll be interested to hear what your doc has to say. With my UNpracticed eye (I've only seen my own films) I don't see anything that jumps out at me.

When I saw my films the first time I could pick out immediately where the problems were. I don't see those sorts of things in your films... so hopefully my dumb guess is correct!

Are you still feeling good after your epidural?

Stacef · 06-11-2008, 11:09 PM

Shaved off some pounds today huh Al? Those should go in the weightloss thread, before and after!

Hope all goes well, we are still thinking of you and Julie

Thank you. You MUST be a DR because your diagnosis was SPOT ON!! Tummy is rumbling like thunder here but that's another story all together!!

Thanks Barb. I'm like you.. I can't pick out anything "Drastic" but then again I'm self taught

I think my last set of scans are in my office. I'll try to pull them up tomorrow and compare. I know on the last set of x-rays it was painfully obvious!!! The MRI looks to have something more "apparent" on it but then again I'm not a Dr. I'll let yall know

Thought I'd share my recent pics to the masses

Royalscott · 06-11-2008, 11:23 PM

Is it low back pain? Compare MRI's and check the L4-5 area.

mothergoose · 06-11-2008, 11:23 PM

I'm not a photographer or a Dr but those look like good pics to me.
Hope all is well

kathywithbirds · 06-11-2008, 11:34 PM

I"m no doc either but is there a LITTLE swelling (oh I don't know the references) 4 verts up? Is that where the block went in?

Just thinking back to what i saw when they shot me fulla epidural and other fun drugs...

Yes this is lower back/leg/foot pain. It's a buring aching pain that goes down my buttocks, along the outside of my left leg and into the side/top of my left foot. I had a nerve block last week (nothing short of a MIRACLE) and meet my surgeon on Friday. I wish I could compare the MRI's but the other sets are of my neck (C5 area) so there's not much to compare. From what I remember these look a LOT cleaner!!

Well thanks! I asked them to get my "Good Side" and they assured me THIS camera took 50 lbs OFF!!

Regardless of what happens on Friday... LIFE IS GOOD!! VERY GOOD!!!

I've looked at that too! That's about the area but I don't know 100%. I have a good Dr friend who I'm gonna ask if she can give em a look tomorrow!!
