@jenniferhunter I had my massage yesterday and as we where talking Michelle the therapist said she is going in continuing education take MFR so am glad to hear this When she knows the technique I will be going to her
@jenniferhunter I had 2 previous microdiscectomies on the left side due to a herniated disc. 3 weeks after I returned to work from the second surgery I fell and messed up the right side. So everything that is being done now is on workman’s comp. They can’t prove that the fall collapsed the disc so workers Comp would not approve for them to fix it. I went and saw my surgeon today and he said there is a large amount of narrowing on the left side from the 2 prior surgeries and a small amount on the right side from my recent surgery. He said that the right side is having to compensate for the left side. He has stopped physical therapy and has ordered a cat scan and a mri. He wants to get a good look at the nerve, see if anything else has collapsed, and make sure I don’t have any small fractures in the vertebrae that he can’t see on the X-ray. He definitely thinks something is going on and just can’t figure out what.
