So I got a call from the new pain management doctor.

The lower back pain he feels is actually from a herniated disc at L4-5 and wants to do epidural shots there. Okay didn't know it was herniated thought it was just bulging.

But the pain I described in my neck they are unsure what it is really caused from but wants to do a new MRI at a different place paying special attention to C-8. Which the first MRI said was fine. If the case is an issue with C-8 then he will do the epidural shots there as well.

Good news is that they have already checked and this is covered by my insurance and he feels confident that because the facet joints worked well that these will as well.

The nurse was great and explained everything that they wanted to do so throughly and frequently asked if i had any questions. So nice for a change.

So I have the MRI scheduled for Friday Eight am and then once they get the report they will call and schedule the appt to see the doctor so we can address everything at the same time and he can explain it all to me.

Sounds good to me. This may just be the ticket to the right doctor for me.

Well that is my long post today.
