The MRI came back today and I have lumbar degenerative disc disease. Well, at least that's what my online chart says. She called it something that sounded much less bad, but I can't remember what all the words were. Basically, there is a disc out of place.
So, it's real. They've referred me to a "pain doctor." Like seriously, that's what he is. I feel like that makes me sound like a druggie seeking pills. Apparently though, he is the right kind of doctor. He may try to fix it using steriod shots. I'm not sure about that. This all started when I was on IV steriods.
The more I think about it - the more done I am ready to be with freaken doctors. It's ridiculous! None of this happened before I got MS and started this doctor malarky.

Hello,
I can't think of anything more painful than a degenerative disc.
That's crazy, I knew steroids could cause secondary effects but with one treatment? Hopefully they can give you something to take the pain away. Are you even able to walk?

Yeah, I can walk...its just painful all the time...doesn't go away with walking, sitting, laying down...its weird. I have no idea if the steriods really caused it, but if they didn't its a HUGE coincidence.
