Update on the neck; we saw a neurosurgeon and HE said he didn't see anything wrong with me on the MRI. Which just... absolutely pisses me off. Apparently the radiologist was wrong? Apparently I'm insane for having so much pain every day for three years? I dunno. But we're going to see another specialist in June down in Iowa City.
I cannot tell you how upsetting today has been. I thought that we finally had answers and that there was a clear path to fixing things, but now that hope is just gone. Hopefully we'll get some more answers from the next doctor, but who knows... in the meantime... I guess I'll just keep trekking like I always have.

My Eastern Civ teacher just pulled a mannequin head out of a bag.
I love this man.

So. For those of you who aren’t aware, I suffer from chronic neck and back pain. Recently I had an MRI to see what the problem was because my dad was worried I had a herniated disc. Normally they would not check a 16-year-old for a problem like this, but my dad had a herniated disc, my grandpa had a herniated disc, and my aunts and uncles had herniated discs. Well, the results of the MRI are in and not only do I have a herniated disc, but I have bone that is growing weirdly, very inflamed muscles, and my other disc is about to herniate. This might not sound like good news, but I am elated. I’ve suffered from these issues for long enough and now that we finally know what the problem is, we can work on fixing it. It’ll be a long road, but I’m willing to take it to finally get better.
We won’t do a surgery immediately because the surgery puts strain on the neck and they’d rather not have me live the rest of my life like that. They’re going to try a lot of different things like a (painful) steroid injection in my spine first. I will have to also go through weird acupuncture electricity tests to see just how bad it is. So… Wish me luck I guess.
