Crazyeighties Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 So my MRI results came in today, I finally have a reason for the pain and discomfort I am in. The doctor looked over my scans and there is a mass on my spine. I am feeling kind of numb right now....I guess it has not fully set in.....

tranceking26 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Sorry to hear you are suffering. Has the doc mentioned the next step? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audiophile Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) I am sorry to hear and sorry that this is happening to you. The most logical thing to do next is consider what the doctor told you and pick a course of action based on that. Has the doctor told you of any treatment plans? Options? Surgeries? I understand it's probably frightening because it is your spine. Have you been referred to a specialist? Did the doctor give you a prognosis? EDIT: I just saw your post below. Apologies, I was typing this up right before you posted.

tranceking26 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Then at the very least you have something to start with, soon. I would just try to piece together the steps on the road to recovery. My father takes various medication for his spine problem, so they will probs give you info on what to start taking the next time you see them.

*MURDOC* Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Good luck man, it's sucks having medical problems, I know first-hand. Hopefully it's not so serious and they'll actually be able to do something to get rid of yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyeighties Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 Update .01 3-19-2014 Hi all I thought I would update you on the life changing news I received just last week, I have talked to on surgeon. He does not like the idea of operating on the area of the spine where the tumors have been found. However it is not off the table as a treatment option. A big part of it depends on what the biopsy says. (That should be back any day now) Audiophile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K^2 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Until you hear biopsy results, there is no reason to panic. Most growths like that are benign and can be taken care of with a bit of surgery. Prior to filing a bug against any of my code, please consider this response to common concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
