Not migraines after all
By Infidel
I went to my neurologist last Monday for my MRI reading and...I
don't have migraines. I have a F---ed up neck.
He showed me the pictures (that was fascinating) and I could clearly see that my cervical L2 - L5 (the neck for the uninitiated like me) weren't lined up with the rest of my disks. L3 was so far out that it was causing my spine to indent! I didn't have the gumption to ask the doc if the amazing thing was that I wasn't in more pain more often.
I start physical therapy tomorrow, but I'm not really holding out much hope for that. If my neck has been this messed up for this many years (30), I can't imagine that a month of PT is going to make it all better.
My doc gave me some muscle relaxers to take when I get "headaches" or a stiff neck/shoulders. Yawn. It works ok for the neck, but it doesn't do squat for the pain!
On top of all of this, he scheduled me to come back next week to get a test to see if I have any nerve damage! Nerve damage? That thought never crossed my mind!
Now, in keeping with my rants on this board:
Begin Rant---
Can someone please tell me why an all-knowing, all-powerful god didn't:
A) heal me or B) at least tell me what was going on for the last 30 fucking years that I've been living in pain and taking the wrong medicine!
Not that I'm bitter. Not at all. Thank you, Jesus! Bullshiiiiiittttt!
