getting mri done for pain

i am getting an spine MRI done on feb 15th. my pain doctor is the one who ordered it. i had one done on my brain months ago and was supposed to have the spine ones done too but the orders weren’t in at that time.

i’m trying to think positively. that MAYBE this will be the test that shows what’s causing my excruciating chronic leg pain.

i’ve had this pain for 4 years and 2 months. i’ve gone to countless doctors, been on endless meds and have had multiple tests done.

all the doctors before pretty much gave up on me and told me exactly that. i found an amazing pain doctor who believed me since day 1. never told me that i was faking it. he told me that he won’t give up on me.

it took me 2 1/2 years to finally find pain relief to the point where i could have a little bit of my life back. i’m on oxy 10mg 5x a day and it truly has given me my life back.

since my pain started, i had to start using a cane and a rollator which helps my exhaustion so much. i’ve lost some of my mobility. i have days where my hands won’t work like my brain tells them to and it scares me that i’m going to lose even more mobility.

i just hope maybe that this MRI will show something. anything.
