well, i went for the follow up with dr. norman today. tay was parking the car and he went outside to get something and saw me standing there. anyway, he went over my mri results. i have some slight disc bulging in 2 points along my spine but not where it compromises my spinalcord. i'm not sure how that could be treated but he said some therapy ought to do it just fine. so that's that. and then i have a herniated disc on the neck part of my spine. also, where the spine should be slightly curved to hold my head up, my spine is straight in that portion. causing pain and other delicious sorenesses. anyway he recommended some therapy, not everyday or anything, but it would beneficial for me to do so. the first step is conservative therapy, which is basically lie down to reduce stress on your spine and take anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen or whatever else they may have prescribed to you. that muscle relaxant is gonna come in real handy.
it sort of pissed me off, herniated disc? wtf?! i got myself portable speakers for my ipod (iMainGo) and a MS usb wireless mouse. it sort of made me feel better. i think i need some time off.
