Good News from the Dr today
They have the results of my MRI and EMT from last week.
Bad news is I do have some nerve damage. My doc said it is minor and I should be able to live with it.
Good news is my MRI shows that I have a bulging disk pressing on my nerve bundle. Its not a rupture or deteriorating disk like they first thought. I have a prescription to help the inflatmation of the nerve and 4-6 weeks of traction therapy for my back to see if they can get the disc back into place and tension off my nerve.
He wants me to continue walking and stretching my back out at work, which means he wants me laying on my office floor about 30 minutes during the day to take pressure off. And then when I get home in the evening. More or less for every 4-6 hours of sitting or being on my feet he wants me to day down for 30 minutes.
He also said getting down to my goal weight will help too.
Thanks to everyones thoughts and prayers over the last few weeks. They are greatly appreciated.
