Back pain, again...

Last year I complained about severe back pain and I was sent home with some mild pain killers. This was the pre-cancer era.
Last week I complained about severe back pain and I was immediately sent to a specialist, I had an MRI done and some blood tests as well. This is the cancer era.
I was given a disc with the MRI and of course I couldn't resist having a look at it. I don't know how to interpret what I see but it looks like there's something out of place. I will know more on Friday, when I see the doctor again.

Twenty years ago I had a disc herniation at L5-S1 and surgery, but this time Dr. Gigi (me!) thinks there's something at L4-L5 and L3-L4. Better a hernia than a tumour!
