Degenerative disk disease with arthritis and osteoporosis
So Friday I just found out I have degenerative disk disease with arthritis and osteoporosis, with a bulging disk. The nurse in the phone felt so bad telling me because I started crying, I told her no don’t feel bad I finally have answers! I finally have an answer after ten years of tears, finding doctors, doing pt, and failing that, living with pain so bad at the end of the day I cry. I wouldn’t tell them the truth about how bad the pain was because I didn’t want them thinking I was drug seeking when all I wanted was help.. I finally found a doctor that cares. She had an X-ray ordered immediately and finally got my mri approved that I have been waiting almost two years for, she also got an epidural injection approved to try for my back. I’m curious if anyone else has anything similar and been pregnant? I have three kids so I assume I have had it since I had my first child as the pain started around then. The last time I got pregnant it HURT. I will be discussing my options with the doctors and ob to see if the benefits outweigh the risks. I really just want one more child, but if I can’t then I will continue to enjoy my kids.
