back

About 4-5 mths ago my spine in my thoracic area (bra line/upper back) started hurting. It has been JUST MY SPINE. It had gotten so bad that I finally went to dr. She said it was likely a "slipped disc" then sent me for xray. Xray came back and showed NO slipped disc but "Osteoartheritis", they reffered me to a Spine & Pain Management Dr., that dr. said yes about the arthertitis but was talking about what I remember as "sclerosis", now don't quote me because after reading it, it sound like the begining of Multiple Sclerosis, so I most have this wrong because this isn't something you just throw a diagnosis at. I called the next day to confirm what I thought I heard and they said they would call me the next day. I never got a call. Anyways, that dr. sent me for MRI which I had Friday, he wanted me to have it ASAP because tomorrow I am having a Spinal Epideral in my Thoracic region under xray. I'm so confused and the pain is unbareable.

I have told Scott for years..."something is wrong with me, one day we will find out and I will feel relieved to have finally had a conclusion". I know whatever it is , isn't going to be pretty, I never expected it to.
I don't know how I am going to work today, the pain is horrid today and being a caregiver is not a job for the weak at heart and body. My job is about over, summer is hear and that's the end of that for a bit I think.

I just don't know what to say, but something is wrong. I haven't told Scott that is radiates in my ribs, hips and how bad it is. Maybe I will call dr. today even though I'm there tomorrow. Hmmm
