Doctor Visit
Today I took Heather to the doctor on the referral of our chiropractor. I took her to the chiropractor because she was complaining of her back aching. He took x-rays and saw something that he thought was abnormal so he suggested we take her to our family doctor for a second opinion to be sure.
First I have to say that I am so thankful that I found Dr. Ford. I have a bulging and a herniated disk, many people have had surgery for this, but through treatments and exercises I am pain free 99% of the time. The fact that he noticed this abnormality, may help in Heather's quality of life.
Well, the doctor said that she thinks Dr. Ford may be right and wants her to have a MRI done to be sure. What she may have is Ankylosing Spondylitis. From the little bit I have searched this on the net, it is very painful. It causes your bones to fuse together, and can have other complications. Please pray that this would not be the diagnosis. It does not seem to bother Heather, but I do not think she realizes what it could mean for her.
Whatever happens we know that God has great plans for us.
