pain in the neck

[jjschwabach]

A week ago Tuesday, I slipped a bit on my crutches as I was getting ready for work.  Hurt badly enough that i did not go to work.  Nor did I go the next day.  I staggered in on Thursday, ended up going to the doctor, who had x-rays taken.  The x-ray tech called me at work on  Friday and said they needed more.  then back to the doc, who said I had a narrowing of the spinal column in my neck, and needed an MRI due to having still much pain, and numbness and clumsiness in my left arm/hand.  Today, something snapped when I nodded to someone, and it hurt as badly or worse than before.  So, I left work.  Went to my doctor's office.  She got the MRI moved up from next Monday to today, and now I have had that and I am wearing a cervical collar, which is not much fun.  Neck is best lying down, but hurts like heck every time the Tylenol wears off.

I have an order for physical therapy, but can't start that until the MRI results are interpreted.

Gah.
