Dr, Kibiash from Johns Hopkins measured the movement of the disc and there still is some movement. It hasnt fused yet. It may never totally heal. I worry about pieces of bone chipping off from rubbing together all the time but the doctor doesnt share my concerns. I am waiting for an MRI so they can make a complete and thorough diagnosis. Im hoping for the beginning of May. So far he just mentioned injections and surgery to fuse the Prodisc. Im holding off on telling him to go scratch his ass. Maybe after the MRI is done and he still wants to cut me.
