lumbar update

I was gonna wait until I get my MRI before I said what was going on with my back. But, I probably won't get the results until Monday, so let me just update you on my situation.

I was unable to get anywhere until earlier this week. I made it to my Chiropractor and she says that I have a bad disc. It is either bulging or herniated. Of course, bulging would be better at this point...but until I get an MRI they will not know which of the two is the problem.

So, as of now, my back is feeling pretty good. The HUGE problem is my left leg. My knee is really sore and from my knee down to my ankle feels like it is half asleep...very tingly and painful. It hurts while walking, while sitting and while lying down. It feels a little bit better when I ice it. The pain is due to the pressure on my nerves in my back...
right now I am just very grateful for my body and realize how much I miss the full use of mine.

I want everyone to just say a prayer of thanks for the ability to
walk
lift a baby
shower
drive a car
and every other thing you do...

I anxiously await the time I can do those things normally again.


Anyhow,
A HUGE THANK YOU to

MOM AND DAD ROBINSON
KANDI CHAPMAN

My CHIROPRACTOR, DR. LYNETTE BERVEN
and my amazing
husband

YIKES!!! I really hope you feel better soon! We have a ginormous jacuzzi tub at our house if you can make it down here you are more than welcome to soak the day away in there, it really made me feel a ton better! I know it wont do much for a disc but it will help with circulation and muscle soreness
