Can you decipher all this? (I have been diagnosed with Rheumatoid and Osteo Arthritis)
I have been experiencing tingling and burning sensations in my hands in the last month. And also the pain from the arthritis. Constant pain in my neck and back with constant muscle spasms. Have open sores on my scalp now and a bad gum infection.
This is what my MRI says:
At L1-L2 there is a focal central posterior protrusion, which effaces the anterior margin of the thecal sac. There is minimal narrowing of the central canal. The neural foramina are patent.
At L2-L3 there is no significant impingement.
At L3-L4 a diffuse disc bulge effaces the thecal sac. There is no foraminal compromise.
At L4-L5 there is a diffuse disc bulge as well as facet overgrowth. There is mild narrowing of the central canal. The neural foramina are patent.
L5-S1 The central canal is patent the neural foramina are patent.
C2-3 Unremarkable
C3-4 There is mild disc desiccation.
C5-6 there is mild disc desiccation. There is disc osteophyte complex formation producing moderate effacement of the thecal sac, greater right than left. There is also disc bulging and Luschka joint disease producing moderate right and left sided neural foraminal encroachment.
C6-7 There is moderate disc desiccation and loss of disc space height. There is mild disc-osteophyte complex formation. There is bilateral neural foraminal encroachment due to Luschka joint disease and disc bulging
C7-T1 Unremarkable
There is straightening of the cervical lordosis suggestive of spasm
Disc osteophyte complex formation C3-4 C5-6 and C6-7
Moderate degenerative disc disease C6-7
Multilevel neural foraminal encroachment as above

One year ago I had an MRI it showed L3 -S1 with bulging and tares, facet hypertrophy in L3, L5 & S1. I had severe pain in my hips and lower back for 8 months. My orthopedic said surgery, I told him no way. 3 months ago i started drinking Mona Vie. one month after i started i was off my nerve meds and muscle relaxers. I stopped drinking it to see and within 3 days of being off monavie my pain was back. I couldn't sleep, my hips felt like someone was crushing them so back to monavie i went. I will have another MRI in february to see if my back is healing. I spoke with my orthopedic about what I was drinking and he said " Don't stop." It is full of phytonutrients and antioxidants. It is nothing but fruit and all the nurtrients are there. Get online and do a google search for Monavie testimonals, you will be surprised to read about how many people see and feel the results of monavie. Here is my personal email if you would like for me to send you the articles that I have on this product. ***@****.

I have truely seen what it has done for me and my family and just want to pass it on to people. I work with the public everyday and several of our customers are on monavie and they love it.
