MRI of my back has been done at various levels due to Horrible back pain. Results, fused on own cervical discs, Spinal Stenosis of full Spine, Osteoporosis, Curvature Of Spine both present at birth and a different curve from osteroporosis, bone spurs, none impringing on nerves. But surgery is not an option for me as the neurosurgeon said he would open me up and have to fuse me all the way up my back rendering me with no flextion. So PT and Excercise to avoid surgery. 80% of back surgeries fail or have to be redone. No thank you. I also refused pain meds. Phillipa
