Re: Just saw this on Facebook.... Good article on various spine problems.
Justin,
Some time ago, I read in the forums about you taking your father to the Texas Spine Institute and he was rejected. Was it because he was too old or just that he had too many things wrong? It seems pretty unkind either way.
Diagnosis:
Degenerative disc disease throughout spine
Generalized disc bulging with mild narrowing of thecal sac in L2-L3, L3-L4, L4-L5, L5-S1.
Moderate spinal stenosis L4-L5
Foraminal narrowing
Recent compression Fx at T10,T11.
Treatment:
Spinal decompression 2007
Cortisone injection in lower back in 2010
Relieved of pain for now
Hope for ADR
