Well, I go for a second visit with Dr Daknis this friday but I received results from the MRI. It shows I have a slightly posterior herniated disc L3-L4. Not sure if it’s old or new as maybe the doc can determine that. I feel it’s an old injury that I really just beat the shit out of this time. Finally a break in the pain department.
It still feels odd back there but I would say I can move pretty fluently. Looking back, I injured this initially 10 years ago and since then I have used a “wedge” coccyx support cushion in my car since then. This changes the angle you sit at so as to not sit in a bucket. I threw that nasty, ten uear okd pillow out about three weeks ago. I really think all the aggravation I have caused has stemmed from a combo of not usi g the pillow, poor posture while welding, over use and generally pulvering my back once I “slipped” at Iron Furnace.
On a final note, it’s scary when this happens as every bad thought goes through your mind. My family, my life, my health, my job, my biking! Here’s to hopefully being on the upside of healing again.
