MRI results are in and I have
two bulging disks.....L 2&3 and 4&5. Can you believe it? Just from lifting a bucket of water, which I have done a hundred times.
I am scheduled for a spinal injection Wed. morning. Hoping it will make them go back where they belong and get rid of some pain.
My pain level stays at around an 8 and goes up with every little thing I do. This has been going on since Aug. 3rd. I am so tired of pain. It saps my energy to the max. Even taking a shower is agony.
Well, my pity party of one is over for now. Wish me luck. Love, Carol

Carol,
I'm sorry to "hear" that's still going on, after so long. You would think that they would have slipped back into place by now, but I guess sometimes things just don't work the way they should. I hope the treatment works. Back problems of that type can be really debilitating.
You've had way more than your share of physical problems lately - you're due for a long spell of clear sailing, and I hope it happens soon. Good luck tomorrow morning.
Love,
Tex

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

HI Carol,
So Sorry to hear that you have another hurdle to get over - but without jumping please. Hope the injection gives you relief and as Tex said, you deserve some clear sailing. YOu have had a hard road for too long.
Love, Mags
