Hi Deb
I cant offer you much advice but wanted to sympathize with you as i have a prolapsed disc too. I use ice and hot water bottles alternatively like Lee and it does help for a while. I always have to end with the hot water bottle as I dont like ending with the ice. I hope you get a good result from your scan. The waiting is awful, isnt it. i always seem to be waiting for an appointment or result. Love from Elaine x
