Getting a Diagnosis

For the last month I’ve been dealing with left leg and hip pain.

This happened after I worked out about a month ago. The pain has gotten better but its still annoying.

My doctors have been telling me that this pain is coming from my back from a possible herniated disc or bulging disc. This herniated disc is placing pressure on my nerve and this pressure is radiating down my leg.

I was told, the only test that could verify this diagnosis, is an MRI.

I went to the hospital to go get my MRI.

Within 20 minutes the radiologist read the MRI and discovered that my spine is fine!

I did not have any herniation or bulging disc in my back.

That my discomfort was coming from a pulled muscle in my left leg.And I was going to have a complete recovery.

I was very relieved to hear the favorable findings.

Many people avoid going to the dentist because they are afraid of what they will find. They are not ready to hear the bad news.

Most of the time their appointments tend to be better than they imagined.

A lot of these patients will tell me, “Oh, I thought it was going to be worse.”

If you haven’t been to the dentist in a while and are afraid of what will be found, remember its probably not as bad as you think.
