Blog2014 ≫ Phoned the doctor

Haven't had any feedback from the MRIs that I had a few weeks ago. Mum keeps telling me to phone them but I keep thinking "leave it another day, they'll call me". They haven't, so I called today (because it's properly hurting today) and the doctor is going to call me back. It had better be to say "we know exactly what it is just take this and it'll go away in a few days" or I'll be really annoyed...

Actually I'm annoyed already, if they're going to call me back it's because the results are in and they should have called me without me having to call them...

UPDATE: still annoyed, yes the results were in Manor Clinic don't seem to be very organised. Nothing to report though, head MRI all normal, neck and upper back MRI both show disk bulges but this is more or less normal and that's not where the pain is (though there might be pain there in the future as one is quite close to the spinal cord) so all we have is the original oddness at the bottom of the spine and I just have to sit tight and wait for the neurologist appointment in September. I can get more painkillers (and I should keep taking them) and I can get some more meds for the side effects, but no progress other than that, just have to wait. One good thing, the doctor will not recommend physio until I have seen the neurologist. I don't fancy physio, sounds like a lot of prodding about.
