Chrisy, I haven't bruised it or slammed into anything lately. (Keyword is lately.) lol It is definitely the spine that hurts. I'd feel better if it was the muscles or joints & not bone pain. We did get a new couch and it does sit higher & I've also wondered if its because I am sitting different now? I sit with my laptop on the coffee table at times and kind of hunch over. Maybe its put stress on the bones? (I'm reaching for anything here...can you tell.) lol
Your question about the MRI is a good one. I wondered that myself? I thought she would say x-rays or bone scan. I'm not sure why she ordered a MRI? I usually have to FIGHT for a MRI...it was strange how quickly she suggested that. Maybe she was afraid since I *just* had a PET/CT in May the insurance company might give her a bad time? I haven't a clue. She probably made up something else to get the MRI ok'd. I just want the most accurate test to find out WHAT is causing this pain...it really is making me misrable. (I liked your comment about the nap.) lol I laughed...but that part is so true! Thanks Chrisy.
