X-ray results.
I finally got to speak to a doctor about my x-ray results.
The good news is there was nothing too worrying to be found in my lower vertebrae. No fractures, which is always a concern with my various weakened vertebrae and ilium.
However there is evidence of osteoarthritis and disc degeneration in my lower back, particularly at the lumbosacral joint, which is a new issue, on top of the damage to L1 itself, L2, and L5.
So now I am being referred to a physiotherapist, and a pain specialist. In the meantime I have the ok to do gentle exercise, stay on top of pain relief, and of course to generallykeep things moving.
I was also reminded that I am no longer in my thirties, so to bear that in mind with my recovery goals. Which sounds a bit depressing, on top of the further degenerate rather than healing, ngl.
