Hi Petra,

I'm sorry you're in pain. I've had so many MRI's I can't even count them, so don't be afraid, just take very heavy duty ear plugs because the noise the MRI makes can be deafening.

I hope they find nothing, or, if something, it's easily to treat. (No more lifting rocks for you!)

October 5th of this year, I had a four-level cervical fusion because the one-level I had 2.5 years ago didn't address all my injured discs. I am fused from C3 to C6, but am finally out of pain.

Marco and I were rear-ended seven years ago, and it's been a nightmare for me ever since. I've become somwhat of a lay expert on back and neck injuries, so if you want to talk off list about any of this, please don't hesitate to email me. Don has my email address if you've lost it.

Best of luck to you.

Cathryn
