I will go over the bad really quick
I saw an Orthopedic specialist and to make a long story short, I have Degenerating Disc Disease and Spinal Arthritis. I KNEW all those damn near gymnastic performances on Stages or in bed would come up to bite me on the bum one day...and it did!! LITERALLY!!!
All he knows is the X-rays of my entire back shows that, on top of the fracture, sciatica, and other back shite I have been dealing with. But for some reason that had me flaming mad for a day, they had e see a KNEE Specialist. Seeing all the damage to my back and ruling out neurological damage, he is sending my BACK to my PCP to get a referral to go to the spine clinic with nothing but spine surgeons and doctors and then (s)he tells me what our options are to get me back on my feet. I was crying my eyes out for a day, thinking about what this means to trying to be pregnant by next year, but Robert and I look things up and he calmed me down. If worse comes to worse, I may have to spend the second half in bed, but this doesn't mean I can't carry one..that I know of. I have not been told that and for now, we are just going to do the doctor run-around so I can see the Spinal specialist and see what we do now and what this means to me carrying a baby.
