I went through something similar a cople of years ago and found it funny as well.
The doctor was just slammed with people in the waiting room and came in to see me. He took one look and started writing the prescription. I started to laugh and jokingly asked if he felt qualified to prescribe this. He said well not until yesterday. He explained he he had only presscribed about 200 patients with the same thing that week. I asked what caused it and he said, welcome to San Antonio and mountain cedar,,,,,, Next.

Looking at your spine pictures I see compressed and misaligned disks. I am not a doctor, but I have considerable experience on this subject. Regular back exercises (the kind you do on the floor with stretching, not lifting weights) along with lots of water, potassium, magnesium, protein, and just enough sodium could very well fix every problem you have mentioned. That is of course if you can stand to do the exercises.
You need about 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day.
Potassium hydrates your cells (and thus your disks and joints). You need several (4 or more) times the amount of potassium as sodium to keep fluid inside your cells instead of outside which causes high blood pressure. Cell potassium levels are usually not measured (just blood levels).
Magnesium can be depleted by excess calcium and by drugs of all kinds and that can cause calcium to deposit in the wrong places. You need about half as much magnesium as calcium when all is well. Magnesium deficiency causes muscle pain, irregular or fast heartbeat, muscle cramping problems and severe suicidal depression.
The loss of digestive and bowel function and pains throughout the body can be caused by the pressure on the spinal nerves. If you could take one month and not work sitting up or on your feet and do regular back and stretching exercises you might be surprised what it could do. The exercises take a lot of time, but since they are hard to do in the beginning its best to start slowly just doing a little at first, which doesn't take long.
I am now doing my exercises before every pool set I play. And I'm wearing 3 lb weights on my legs while I play to help stretch my back (no I didn't steal the idea from Earl, lol).
Your doctor may disagree with what I've said. But these basic imbalances in the most vital minerals can never be fixed with any drug. It takes 6 months according to scientists to cure chronic dehydration and basic mineral imbalances.
Anti-inflammatory pain medication is proven in scientific trials to be totally destructive to joint healing and hydration. As is sugar/caffeine and alcohol.
Stevia is the best natural sweetener I've found, it's good for you and helps regulate blood sugar. Artificial sweeteners are poison.
Good luck!

I do my re-hab at the local rec on a Nautilus machine but cant do much. If you look inside the spinal cord you will see a white line (those are the cysts) but that was bad film from 05. I have to go back anyday now to get another MRI (have to get them yearly) and I'll try to get pics from my Neurosurgeon as his MRI is newer and better than the ones I posted as they were not taken at his place. On some of my MRI's in between the ones posted you can actually see the cord expanding. Not supposed to strain or pick up over 5lbs., but that gets boring quick. Of course my next strain could be my last as I risk being paralyzed.
3D model
Check if they can do a 3D model for you. They can with CT scans and I think that they can with some MRI machines. The 3D model of my back was slick. It was on the computer screen and I could rotate it and look at crap myself. Tricky to read x-rays, CT scans, and MRI's ourselves without the training but anybody can look at a model. Found a broken transverse process about halfway up my back. That is a minor issue for most people but when my back goes into spasm shooting pool I get a big knot there and it pulls my torso around a bit with the uneven load or something. Not sure of the exact cause but my stroke starts looking like a Nolan Ryan pitch and I start missing anything other than ducks.
That isn't my main issue but it may do more harm to my pool game than the main issue because the major damage is at least centered.

Thanks, I'll ask about that. That sounds like some cool stuff. My Neurosurgeon is pretty updated so he might have the technology to do it. I just have to meet my deductibles first cuz he costs $340 just for a visit
I was charged 13 grand for those pics I posted (what a joke huh!) but my Neurosurgeon charges much of nothing compared to that.
Yea xrays are no good to me, as the cysts dont show up on xray. Only on MRI's and maybe CT scans. If I could find my list of other back problems I'd post them but have misplaced the papers the government sent me when I won my case. It listed EVERYTHING and there was crap I didnt even know I had on there. I'm still in the process of asking for all my medical records to see what is what and what I have to worry about

danged medical records and pictures
I usually collect my medical records and pictures. Often a lot of surprises. I found that I have degeneration over about half of my spine recently! Not a real issue but it wasn't a joy to discover. The transverse process was broken many years ago and just hangs there broken off too. It's encapsulated and no big deal but it's been that way for many years and I didn't know it although I do remember when the knot first appeared over ten years ago.
A chuckle about the records: My current surgeon started reading a psychological profile that Tulane required before a major back surgery in the mid-nineties, just another way to gouge money mostly. I had to go through seemingly every department there before they whittled. Anyway, he is skimming it and then stops and reads three densely typed pages. He is amazed, says he has never seen a report like it, four places it emphasizes that I am highly intelligent.
Well it seems like I can get some mileage out of this maybe when it comes time for vocational rehab or job shopping so when they have me tote my own records from the second floor to the fourth floor a few months later I make myself at home in a waiting room along the way and start rooting through several inches of reports. Found the one in question. It did say I was highly intelligent four places, what he didn't mention is that it said I was anti-social in three!! I didn't steal a copy.

I found my papers and this is what they said I had (I didnt know I had but about 2 or 3.....lol)
1. Cervical Post Operative Radiculopathy (WTF? LOL)
2. Degenerative Disc Disease
3. Osteoarthritis (I think that came from the steroid treatments)
4. Syringomyelia (The real reason I'm disabled)
5. Bulging discs at T5-T7
6. Sarcoidosis (The reason I had to take steroids and quit)
7. Spina Bifida
Thats just from the government, I think I found a few more from my doctor records.
