Come Tuesday, I will be calling to set up the MRI for my entire back. They called on Friday. The doctor said that the cervical spine (neck) is supposed to have a curve, but mine is straight. He said that he is worried and wants to do a MRI on my entire back. He said that a MRI is better than a CT scan and x-ray. I have had both CT scan and x-rays done. The diagnosis is:

Where the skull meets the spine, it didn't fuse properly together. He said that I have spondylosis, stenosis, a cleft in the posterior arch of C1, degenerative disc disease, osteoarthritis, and bone spurs.

I go to my doctor (not the surgeon, was already there to see him), on the 28th. I pray for a good report. I've been in so much pain that it's hard to tolerate it. My neck to my elbow has been In a lot of pain. Then from the elbow to the fingers, there has been the feeling of pins & needles which causes pain & weakness. Then my fingers are numb all the time. I was given meds which I take. It helps, but 2 make me very tired. Need prayers.
