sitting, waiting, wishing

okay, so it appears I am out for a long count. i went to my doctor who has worked on my neck and back the past five years. normally i go in he adjusts my back and neck, well today he told me he would not touch my neck. he asked if i have experienced any trauma in the past six months ,which i have not but i guess if he hadnt known any better he would guess i did. soooooo as he is doing his consultation he is testing out my shoulder which has been killer lately, and he said its actually fine but my neck isnt, i made the actual appt to request an mri for my shoulder and neck....anyway he said if i werent requesting it he would have suggested it anyway...so anyways i pretty much begged him to pop my back, so he did and as he was i asked him if my hip, knee, and ankle pain could be from my neck...his response was that more than likely, and that my bulged disks may be pressing into my spinal cord....Omg scary....so at the moment i am trying my hardest to not stress about it until my mri, if i do its going to just cause me more tension and more tension is just going to irriatate the disk area.... i am praying its not anywhere near my spinal cord, im pretty scared, although he didnt seem overly concerned with telling me it could be swelling into it...sigh... guess insanity may never happen again...at this time i was told veeeerrryy low impact, so looks like the pool will become my walking partner... sorry this whole thing has even worse than usual puncuation, my phone will only let me hit . and , wont even let me cap a letter....well i will kepp ya all posted, after the mri.
