diagnosis

The diagnosis on my back is BAD...

here is a very rough visual aid.
I have 2 herniated disks and 2 bulging discs. All in a row.
I also have spondylolisthesis on my L5 vertebrae.
This is REALLY BAD.
4 injured discs.
The good thing is, is that discs can heal. With treatment and over time, they can and will get better. I remain hopeful. sortof.

So sorry to hear about your back. I can only imagine how painful that must be. Are the hoping with physical therapy and chiropractic help that your back can heal?

On to a happier note...Happy Birthday Becca! Hope you are able to enjoy your cake and eat it too.
