doctor's visit
Well I went back to Dr. Regan this afternoon to find out the results of my CT scan. Unfortionately I am starting to form arthritus on my left side, and the films show that my left side is worse than my right side. I'm going in for another facet block sometime next week for my right side and am going to take the same course of action that I had done with my left side to alleviate the pain. Lets just hope that it doesnt take 2 yrs.
I'm a little discouraged that the Charite started the formation of arthritus when it wasnt even there, but I had this frustration before. And it is a definite that sometime in the future I am going to have to have another surgery.
