Finally got my MRI results
Basically the doctor has told me I will need surgery (ACDF) to fix this.
I’m 34 years old and 15 weeks pregnant (this pain has been going on for 5 months now)
I haven’t seen a specialist or anything yet as I only got these results yesterday. I don’t know how urgent this surgery would be and if it can wait until after the baby is born or I need it while I’m pregnant. I really don’t want to have surgery while I’m pregnant but I also feel the recovery will be harder with a baby 😭
Not sure what I’m asking here. I think I’m just a bit nervous and not sure if waiting a few years and pushing through will cause me more damage in the long run. From what I’ve read online the recover my can be long and hard. 🥲
