That precisely what I was saying!!! I just said to my DH, good thing they didn't do an MRI, that would have moved it a lot! NOW I read, they are going to do it knowing that it's in there???? Yikes!!!!!!

Good luck with everything. What a nightmare! As an RN, I can't imagine how someone kept that information from you. How unethical!

Thats what DH said also. Will ask my doc because of that. But something has to be done. Even if they said yesterday that they dont see anything causing the pain I got up this morning with same pain as the last couple of days...............

Went for an MRI yesterday and got the results today from my doc: Nothing wrong with my spine, no disk lesion, no nothing............(thank god)
It is so frustrating to be in such pain with all of the docs telling you that there is nothing to cause it.

I will go a couple of days longer with pain killers and after that I will insist on having the needle out. Whether they belief it is the cause or not! Obviously they are afraid of it for some reason!?

I too would want to know why and what other options there are. After all, pain is your body telling you something is not right. Prayers for relief coming your way.
