News on my back!

Ok, so I still hate Doctors....

Naturally, instead of calling me, they sent me a letter in the mail....

Dear Jessica,

Your imaging study of Lumbar Spine 3 View was abnormal.

Possible pars interarticularis defect; need further xray view {obliques). Please return to xray dept for these.

Sincerely,

My Doctor....



*sigh* Yes, grammatical and punctuation errors included....

After doing A LOT of research, I found the below site that offered some decent information including some photos. If you have a weak stomach, don't scroll all the way down.

I'll keep everyone updated on the progress. I will probably make it back into the Doctor for my next set of x-rays later this week.

Love to all!!

lovely... I'd make sure to get a second opinion before doing anything.
