I scared-next week, I see the Spine Specialist...

Original post by Mich0621

And my darling physical therapist who is awesome made me so scared today when I read him my MRI report.

I was all excited...I thought he would tell me it is a nothing thing.

I got-well, they could see how PT goes, but since it is driving through your ligaments to your spine, if PT fails, you will probably need SURGERY



I am so petrified. Lets hope he is wrong. I don't want anyone cutting my back up!

But on the bright side-If I do it in the early summer, I can take the slow season off of work and rehabilitate on the beach (well, carefully on the beach)

I am trying so hard to make a joke of this, to be optimistic.

Sigh...

Don't get scared just yet PT may work out and you are worrying over nothing!!! If you have the surgery just think ahead to the days you will be able to live pain free and with a summer off work.



I am thinking of it like this-hopefully, everything will be okay.

If not, I will have a nice tan this summer!

Thank you to everyone here yet again for letting me vent. This is so much for both DH and I to take in. We are keeping fingers crossed for the best.... you all and I will keep all posted as to what they say.

Surgery is scary but they do so many of them daily that you will definetly be ok. Use it as an excuse to get your DH to wait on you hand and foot and clean the whole house-in a thong apron and a smile.

Good luck!
