I had to get carted in the ER by the squad last year.I battled back to some degree of normality after 6 months of rehab. My neurosurgeon said that I need to get 2 of my discs fused to my spine and I need to get an injection between my discs to help alleviate the nerve pain. My back pain doesn't go away so she at least has that going for her.

I have had both and when shown the images the closed looked much more detailed. Last MRI I had was closed and it was for for both the lumbar and thoracic parts of the spine. I was in that coffin for well over an hour.
Good thing I am not clasterphobic and don;t move much in my sleep.
Found out I have a disc that is both bulging and protruding at L5-S1 and a bulging disc at L4-L5.
