New to forum- MRI Questions

[mary.mary]

What are the different options out there? I am truly uneducated when it comes to all of this stuff. I am happy to have found this site, and I am hoping that I might be able to get some advice and direction.

Is surgery going to be my ONLY option? What is meant by a fusion? I don't even understand what ANY of the information on my report means etc etc. How could I have had all these problems before and not even realize it and not be in ANY pain, then I have my accident in November and BAM!! the pain starts and I have all these problems.

I am SORRY if I am asking too many questions or whatever, but I am REALLY confused, in pain & scared.

I HONESTLY don't know where to go or what to do, I am SO EMOTIONAL at this point, I am a TRAIN WRECK!!
