Hey mark, how is your back doing?

markjI am doing so much better these days. Still have low grade discomfort but not all the time. Still working on getting everything re-aligned. Going in for my final PT appointment tomorrow. I do the stretches and exercises daily. Lower Lumbar MRI without dye is scheduled for 2/10.

MikhailohThat’s great news, Mark. I had pretty bad back pain off and on in the 90’s. Thankfully it healed.

JF, Did it show up on an xray?
CAT scan
Now that I think of it, no. I went into surgery with doc thinking it was a bulging disc and only when they had me opened up was it apparent it was a disc fragment broken off. The difference is important because a bulging disc can be reabsorbed, taking the pressure off the nerve, while the fragment is likely not moving until removed surgically.
