Your primary care doctor might be able to help 🙂

Loss of disc height in the vertebral bodies and cervical arches despite normal structure. The vertebral bodies and intervertebral spaces are of appropriate height. There is straightening of the physiological lordosis, which suggests some muscle spasms. There are more prominent transverse processes at C7 on both sides.

Nothing too crazy here, just some early degenerative changes. How old are you?

I think I heard someone mention they dropped roughly that much money on some herbal remedies for chronic sinusitis from some so-called "doctor." It didn't do a thing for them either.

Honestly, what she's doing is basically practicing medicine without a license, which is actually illegal...

You can find them everywhere—in radiology departments at local clinics and hospitals, and even at most private imaging centers.

A few inches here or there doesn't really change the big picture 😁

Look, if the hairline starts right at C7, then we’re looking at a much bigger issue than just a minor tweak.

Otherwise, no—it definitely isn't about where the hunchback begins.

Oh man. Now that’s what I call a dream workout.

Two months is a long time to be going without any real relief from physical therapy. Honestly, if you aren't seeing progress, maybe they just weren't giving you the right exercises... I'm not sure what else to say. It might be worth scheduling a consultation with a neurosurgeon just to get a professional opinion on where things stand. You could also try a different PT clinic—maybe one that incorporates more hands-on manual therapy into their sessions.

That L4 retroposition has probably been there for quite a while, so honestly, I wouldn't let it stress you out too much. You can always try tackling a herniated disc with physical therapy first, and if that doesn't cut it, then surgery is an option. But since we don't really know how much pain you're actually in, it's tough to give any real advice without knowing your side of things...

It might be a disc issue, though I doubt a vertebra actually slipped out of place.

Oh man, I’ve been there too, and it is seriously frustrating. You really just have to hunt down a deodorant that doesn't make your skin freak out. While I was waiting for mine to settle down, I tried an Alverde roll-on and that one didn't cause any irritation at all.

The fact that your knees were bothering you back when you were a kid isn't really a huge red flag, and honestly, it’s pretty common.
What’s happening with you right now is what we should actually focus on. It would be a good idea for me to check in with my doctor so I can get a referral to a physical therapist...

As soon as possible, especially for the sake of the people caught up in all this... I just hope common sense wins out.

Honestly, it looks like they just escaped from some terrible horror movie.

Bob Dylan 😁

Come on, you can see how much the tension just melts away the second a woman steps into the room 🙂
...

Amen.

In that case, I really hope everything works out naturally for you and that it all goes smoothly...

That’s irrelevant to what we’re actually talking about here.
Goodnight, everyone. I’m seriously heading out now—I mean, who’s actually going to get up and get to work tomorrow if I stay up? Go head to bed with your loved one and just enjoy the fact that you have each other... Live in the moment and don't waste your precious time on arguments that aren't going anywhere.

Oh, please—I’m not even trying to go through the MPO process, let alone actually doing it.

I’m just sharing my thoughts on the whole issue.

Don't waste your breath worrying about whether I'll have a hard time finding a husband. Seriously, I wouldn't be looking for a husband within two months of a funeral...

I just really hope that your God doesn't throw any bigger temptations your way than deciding whether or not to attend MPO.

Hey there, I’m 29 and a widow. Am I an old lady now? Maybe, though I don't quite feel like I belong in that category yet...

The truth is, I don't have anyone to lean on anymore. My dear husband passed away when he was only 32, leaving me behind...

It's a heartbreak I wouldn't wish on anyone else in this world.
