My lower back is fused together, and the docs say that is congenital. will be trying a few sessions of therapy and if that doesn't work will be having an MRI.

Glad the root canal went well. Sorry about the back. Hope the therapy works! CK

Hello McKorky,
Good to hear the dental part is over and I hope the P/T helps with your back.

I would push for the MRI ...to know what is going on, and to have a point of reference if there are any changes (as you grow older..uggg)

Just another point of view...my husband has a bad back...had an MRI. The neurologist FINALLY got ahold of his report and said that he should NOT have done any PT as it could have been doing damage to his already bad injury.  Not to scare you, but, I would deff get another opinion before getting deep into the PT!

I agree! The MRI comes first, then the PT! How does he know your vertebrae are fused if he has not seen an MRI report?

Xrays revealed the fusion of my lower spine. I would have already had the MRI if it wasn't for the insurance company. They will not pay for the MRI unless I go through pt first.

Have you been tested for Ankylosing Spondylitis? My doctor tested for the gene HLA B27 because of my back pain? I was negative. Even without the gene you could still have AS.

My back pain was intense and with it I had problems with TMJ, temple pain, and bottom of foot pain among many other symptoms.
I hope you find answers and feel better soon.

Glad to hear the root canal went well.  I have only had one ....last year.  Like you, I was terrified from horror stories I had heard.  I have to say, mine was painless.  One of easiest things I have had done at dentist.  I do have a wonderful, gentle dentist but I still expected much worse.

Hope your MRI goes as well for you.  With that, I have no experience at all.
