hx recurrent vertebral fx' L.

PC saw no need to X-ray my back although I kept saying back was worse. MRI 2 weeks ago. No New FX'. NEW....ANNULAR TEAR @ L/5 S/1 WITH INCREASED CROWDING OF NERVES S/1 (ALSO NEW: ATROPHY OF PARASPINOUS MUSCLES) EXERCISE RELIGIOUSLY. This new PC doesn't understand why my pain has increased and is harder to deal with. My Chronic R.D. is 1-6 sec. return rather than .5 seconds. Injury also caused lymphedema. Since I am more sculpt. to infection and blood clots, etc...don't want to try injections. I think the terrific blow I took to my back caused the 'NEW THINGS." Age is also a consideration. I have always been very active..77 yrs young and run a business. I take 3 hydrocodone in 24 hrs. I would benefit on some days with 4. I did lymph. massage until the clot was found.
