Diagnosed on 1 May 2017

hi jena, thanks for the message, I expect the mri is to just to see whats going on, unfortunately with our diagnosis, the doctors really have to keep on top of everything, could be just your back problem flaring up, I have a similar diagnosis to you in terms of my back, damage to c3 through to c7 and bulging discs, I used to have facet joint rhyzolizis twice a year under day surgery, whereby they cauterized the nerves in my spine to give me relief, however since my diagnosis, that's a no no  so just have to use pain relief, but I have found that all the while I can keep my life as stress free as possible the pain has gotten better, easier said than done, let us know how the mri goes,
