The Second MRI

I know that the last post says I'd have the MRI and get the report from the doctor on Nov.18th. That WAS true but things have changed. The insurance company approved a second MRI to the first doctor. I thought that was strange and turned them down since I already had an MRI scheduled for the following day.

Well, in talking to a few chiropractors and a nurse, we realized that it would be nearly impossible to have the pain in both feet from problems in the low back. The nerves are individual 'hairs' there, but the nerves are bundles in the neck. So the quest was to have the second approved MRI changed from lumbar spine to cervical spine.

I made an appointment with the neurologist's office and saw the physician's assistant. She agreed with my research and contacted the insurance company for the change to the MRI.

Well, I had the MRI of my neck yesterday. That is very stressful for me because I'm claustrophobic. After a Xanax and some TLC from the technician, I got through the procedure. I got a ride there from a sweet friend at the yarn shop and when she got me home I slept for over 2 hours.

It's going to be a secret till Dec. 6th unless I can get a cancellation. I'm calling the doctors office everyday, so far, no openings. I still don't have a diagnosis but hopefully I have the tests necessary for one.
