Finally after three weeks of thinking and thinking what exactly the problem with Ron's lower back pain and left leg pain... We got the result of MRI scan... Confirmed that Ron have Spinal Herniated Disc or Lumbar Herniated Disc to be specific...
Of course, I don't really understand what it means and how it goes with herniated disc so I tried again to read some information from internet... I found some information from www.orthopedics.about.com, (http://orthopedics.about.com/cs/herniateddisk/a/ruptureddisk.htm) it is well explained there but for course there are lots of medical website who can really explain more...
I found also an explanation in a video in www.spine-health.com (http://www.spine-health.com/video/lumbar-herniated-disc-video) then i understand why Ron had such lower back pain...
As for now, Ron still on sick leave because the lower back pain is still there, but of course the medicines his taking now like morphine, lyrica and diazepam (3x a day) are helping so the pain will not be so hard... Ron receives a letter from Martini Ziekenhuis (in Groningen), on February 12, his appointment with Neurosurgeon... I've read in internet that it is usual that for a patient with herniated disc, to have 6 weeks under observation with the development before the Neurosurgeon will decide if the patient need to undergo an operation....
Please help me pray for Ron to get well very soon... Thanks!
