Help me translate my MRI results

[DFIB]

Well my situation has improved at this point. I saw the surgeon(orthopedic spine specialist) again. I am going back to work tomorrow. This past week has been awesome. No pain or tingling. Apparently that was somewhat normal. They expect the first week after surgery to be good, then the nerve usually has some swelling the second week which calms down weeks 3 & 4. My case is being rushed a little because if I don't go back to work tomorrow I will lose my job. They usually require 6 weeks of no bending, lifting, or twisting but I am going back to work with a lumbar corset. The worst that can happen is I can reherniate the disc which is likely regardless when I go back.

Take care of yourself girl. You can always get another job but your health is priceless.

Best wishes.

You will lose your job?! Thats crazy. My work is required to hold mine for at least 2 yrs and even then if I am able to return then they will hold it even longer! Be very very careful. You only get one back in life. You muck up your back even worse and you won't be able to go back to your job. So very happy that you are feeling better though. Gives me hope that I will get over my roller coaster ride of a back injury someday soon.

So I got a call from my doctor who said that I have been given priority 1 status although even with that status it can still be up to a 12 month wait to get in. My back is no better and I only have 2 yrs leave from work. I hope they are much quicker then a year. Welcome to Canada where the healthcare is mainly free but the wait to get in to see a doctor is LONG!! Grrrr
