I had the bone density test yesterday. The worst part about it was laying on my back
 OUCH! That is so painful, even for just a few minutes.they wouldn't give me a copy of the printout right then, but said they would fax it my doctor Monday or Tuesday. I also had then fax it to my Chiropractor, as I have an excellent relationship with him and I know he'll get me a copy without any flack.

Jess
Jess, glad that is done. I have mine last week and will get the results soon. I am going to see the Ortho surgeon at my HMO to discuss surgery although I do not think I will have them do it. Long story. They did require another xray and more tests and have long question list so I feel I'm starting to make progress.
Hope the banks will help me out. HMO appt. is in three weeks and have appts. in NY with Dr. Bervin in June and another appt. with Dr. Neuwirth in NYC also. More later.

Dear dribobits, and other members,
I just read your first post (I did not had time to read whole thread). I am also having a chemically sensitive disc, to be concrete my diagnosis is: "HIZ (high-intensity zone) in L4/5 and possibly in L1/2". HIZ are annular or radial tears inside disc. I cannot stand, sit or lay down in bed for more than 15 minutes. My life is destroyed. I already had 2 surgeries: 11/2007: Interlaminectomy/Foraminotomy 02/2009: Endoscopic Discectomy Have you treated your annular tears or you are still waiting? Regards

Hi Keano and welcome to the forum,
Sorry you find it necessary to have found us but now that you did, we're here to help. Have you ever heard of ADRs? How may doctors have you consulted with and what did they tell you. Please start a new thread and tell us about yourself. My best, Dale
