xray and mri show different issues. They usually start with conservative therapy... xray... then MRI. A friend is going through this now. I believe it's cost containment. Its frustrating that they won't do an MRI. Even if it turns out to be nothing, you'll have a baseline and know what your spine looks like now.

The last few days my lower back has been the worst I've felt it. I can't straighten up or lean back at all. I took a muscle relaxant and it did nothing. I'm kinda worried that the disc has fully herniated. I've got ortho on Thursday anyway so I'll wait and see what they say. I'm hoping it's just a pulled muscle or something and goes away.

The severe pain when leaning back may be a disc problem, but it is also consistent with facet issues (and probably other issues as well.)
Sorry you seem to be getting worse. Mark

Don't know what's going to happen now. The person I seen at ortho today said there is nothing more they are going to do and told me to go to the gym. It wasn't the usual dr I was seeing. I questioned everything he said and he said and he just kept saying they won't do anymore scans and to try and deal with the pain. I was furious. . I don't understand how one person can give me an esi and say to consider surgery then this guy say they're not going to do anything. The way he was talking was basically saying my pain isn't too bad and to cope with it. I'm going to phone tomorrow and try and speak to my original dr and see what's going on. I think they may be trying to cut the amount of patients they have. You guys on here have been more informative than most the drs ive seen.

I am so sorry you had such a bad appointment. Was this a doctor ? Let us know when you reach the original doc what he says . Again sorry.
