Micro,

Yeah, you sure did pick a bad time to have your back go out. You sound pretty good for the pain you're in. Did you do the pelvis (ankles clicking) test? Important to be aligned or your disk doesn't have a chance.

When I had my herniated disk, I used a chiropractor to realign my back, then a neurologist who said I didn't need an operation and gave me exercises. Swimming was one and then walking up and down hills. The problem was pacing myself. If I felt good, I walked too much and was hurting too much to walk for a day or two. Took some fine tuning. Treatment depends on your exact condition, of course.

Must say, your spirits are high, that's good. Hope you recover soon and especially before Christmas!

HI Linda!

Thanks ! Yes . I am seeing an orthopaedic back/spine specialist Wednesday. I can relate to not being able to walk to the bathroom. I have so much pain shooting down my left leg into my calf from just sitting in this chair I could scream.

I have taken 1,000 mg of advil this morning. I have a TENS electrode unit on me pulsing through severely agitated muscle in left BUTT cheek.

There is no good position to sit, stand or walk. I can LAY in my bed though. It takes pressure off.

Don;t know what is going on. As my dear wife has pointed out to me numerous times in various methods and tones,
if ya know what I mean, likely I should not have helped lift the 6 year old electric range to a truck to give to friends daughter or help son in law move a 200 pound kitchen countertop out of my father's house I am selling Friday next week.

I just hate it when I have to admit she's right.... After all, I am the engineer, and a dumb one at that.. lol!!!

Looking forward to Wednesday's visit with back specialist.

I wonder if Nemo can legally mail me some medical marijuana from out there on the left coast? LOL!!!!

I hope the doc can give me a shot to ease down this pain immediately and some strong pain pills and anything else that will help alleviate the traveling shooting pain down the leg through my rear end....

This is a bad time of year to come down with this stuff.
