Well guys,

I have among other things:
1. Herniated disk around L3-L4
2. acute sciatica
3. degenerative disc disease
4. Pain of lumbar spine.

Yeah, no kidding I have pain from my lumbar spine.....

So, I will take a MEGA DOSE treatment of heavy duty steroids to try to clear up the inflammation and relieve the sciatic nerve inflammation. COupled with some new exercises I get to learn at Therapy for a few weeks.

IF that does not work, it is off to the surgeon next year. Not much choice.
I am hoping this helps or works but I cannot see how it is going to repair a herniated disc.

RIBIT I am just about to put my clubs up for sale bro and join the OCC. (old codgers club)

Before ya know it I will be a scratch golfer and just missed my tour card! lol!!!

Right now I am in some serious pain. My shoulders did not hurt this bad when I tore the rotator cuff all to shreds. Even the 5 lamenectomies did not hurt like this.

SO hopefully these steroids have some pain killing power as I did not get any of those prescribed.....

Just wish my left leg would stop throbbing in the calf muscle.

Oh well. Have to deal with it.

Catch you all later. I need to go set up the Tens unit and start some electric current therapy. That might help a little.

Micro out...
