The doctor called
Well about 6 this evening the doctor called with the results from my lower spine MRI. He said from the report it looks like I may have AVN/ON in my lower spine but we need to see the results from the bone scan. I told him that I had that test done today but could not do the other and will have that one done next week. He is calling for the report from the MRI of the right hip and I am going in to see him tomorrow so I will know the reults from that. Now from what I have been told there is nothing that can be done when it is in your spine. These are all questions that I will be asking tomorrow. I am trying to stay positive that maybe just maybe the bone scan will show something else. I will let you know tomorrow.
I was so happy that a few people wrote to me about having AVN/ON. Anyone please feel free, I have found that it really helps to have someone to talk to that understands. That is one reason I belong to a support group for AVN/ON. The link is posted on the side of this page.
I have tried to sleep tonight but again just cannot get comfortable. I know it sounds crazy but I am ready for another operation if it can take me out of some of this pain. Well until tomorrow.... Wish me luck.
