I do keep a pain diary, but I am thinking you are referring to the one after the facet block. The facet block is scheduled for tomorrow. I will keep the pain diary also for that to see if we are in the right location. I did not have a standing x-ray. maybe something I should ask for. My grandma had a hunch back.
As for cervical:
C2-3 posterior spondylitic contouring mildly indents the ventral thecal sac. no cord inmimgment or significant neural foraminal stenosis.
C3-4 2mm central disc bulging indents the ventral thecal sac, no cord impingment. there is mild left C3-4 spondylitic neural foraminal narrowing.
C5-6 posterior spondylitic contouring with disc bulging indents the ventral thecal sac and closely approciamtes the cervical cord. Postlateral spondylitic marginal contouring combined with uncovertebral hypertrophy results in mild/moderate left something narrowing.
Same thing with C6-7 only mild nerual foraminal narrowing.
I had surgery on December 12th where they go in posterior and clean out to make room for the nerve root. nothing with the discs. There were three options. disc replacement, fusion, or clean stuff up. I chose the later. I forget the name. This was done at C6 and c7. Still horrible pain between shoulder blades around t8-9 where i have the other 2mm bulging disc. do you think that this is probably where it is coming from?
Thank You.
