My MRI scan results......

[ELVIS68]

Wear and tear on the lower spine, Degenerative disc prolapse and 3 discs bulging.

Oh and the doc says there's nothing to worry about just yet!

[baza]

that's reassurance from the doctor,

[baza]

clicked too soon, glad to hear you have nothing to worry about.

[jno]

how many years of unworried life did he give you before you have to start?

[ELVIS68]

He did ask how long I was planning to stay in my current job!

When I told him hopefully until I retire he said "I think you should consider changing jobs"

I told him my back troubles started long before this job he said ok we'll see how it goes

OH had op for similar prob in january,great success.doc not sound too helpful,case of keeping calm & carrying on?take care

[baza]

anything going thats a little bit lighter with your present employer? Might be worth enquiring.

[Mamyalynne]

Oh Elvis, a reason for your pain does not make it easier to bear, maybe time for a rethink if the job is going to aggravate - so easy to say in this climate I know ((HUG))

[baza]

elvis all the best with whatever you decide, please keep us updated.

[owdhamer]

Chin up elvis.

[jno]

the fact that your back problems started before your job doesn't mean the job isn't making them worse than another job would. But as mamya points out, saying "get another job" is easy...

[Lore]

Sounds painful, even if it is nothing to worry about.

If you do decide to change jobs, don't go into the decorating business :p
