I had a MRI on my back yesterday. The results: One herniated disc is putting pressure on my spinal cord, the two discs directly above it are bulging, the one directly below it is bulging. Also mentioned – “chronic disc disease”, whatever that means. Oh well, I’ve been in constant pain since I was 16 or so, so I’m used to it. I certainly blame Karate for these particular injuries. It does seem this will eventually lead to surgery or possibly extreme pain one day.
