Day by day a little better, hopefully it keeps it up! How is your back holding up? Thanks for the re-blog, I don't usually do many re-blogs either, so I really do appreciate it. How was your day?

Well, a chance to win here and there is nice, so I may tune in more often for that lottery :)
I have the results from the MRI, although some what was written is not really clear, one thing that was clear is that it stated "L5-S1 Discopathy" had to google this myself but it seems I will need physio indeed but the treatment will probably depend on the total results of the MRI and X-ray.
I did an attempt quitting the meds a few days ago, only to have the radiated pain come back FULL force, while I replaced the meds for those that the trauma do prescribed. I ended up taking the other one late at night as I could not handle it anymore.
Earlier this week, I did the x-ray and I can't make anything of those images as I'm not an expert, but it was very clear to me that the position of my hip is uneven (they already told me when I was pregnant the first time) so I'm guessing the extreme sounds my hip is making (it also hurts a lot) is caused by that. This is something I need to tell the trauma doc in a few weeks as it's probably all connected...
I hope your foot is doing better, or is it still flaring up?

Was it a written report (hopefully not hand written?) Discopathy is kind of a generic term radiologists use to say it's not normal but don't want to commit to a diagnosis. Physical therapy is still the ideal option and I hope it helps. It sucks to have pain that makes life miserable, I hope the meds you have help. Going off them may not be a good idea with the pain you're having, I'm sorry, that really sucks!
One hip is higher than the other side? Did they ever try to figure out why? That is rough, sounds miserable..
Foot is still there, not better nor worse. I take that as a win! I really miss being 21, back then nothing hurt!

Haha, I feel you! Last week when I had these shitty days with pain, I was like damn, I wish I was young again.. My age never really bothers me honestly but these parts breaking down do :)
Yeah it was written report and the scan was included to so the doc will check that himself as well.. We'll see what he says later this month. I wonder what he will call it then if that's not the actual diagnosis. I'm confident the physical therapy won't have to take forever as there are many options near us (just need to check which ones are included with our insurance) so with some luck, I won't have to wait weeks but only days once he refers me.
The hip, yeah one side of my hip is lower than the other so I can imagine that all these years hearing my hip making the knack sound while walking just meant because I'm uneven :) lol.. With some logical thinking all of that may cause the other things to start hurting and getting out of form etc..
Anyway, today is a good day so far in terms of pain, but it's so freaking humid today that I'm going to jump in the car when the tutor arrives to get to the supermarket as today I'm not affected by the med (some days is worse than others) going to take advantage of that to get some "fresh" air.
I hope you have a good weekend!
Good for you! Get out and enjoy that fresh air while during the good days. Too bad the wait is so long to get back in with him. Hopefully the physical therapy will strengthen those muscles enough to make it a lot better. I'm sure the doctor will address the hip issue as well, if not ask him. It may be the whole entire problem!
I wouldn't mind being a few years younger, but oh well! I hope you had a productive day and get some time to relax today!
Yeah definitely good. Honestly, its still close to 30 degrees but I've already had several evenings that I felt cold inside haha. So funny how this is perceived the weather sometimes isn't it.
I actually had a good day, hope you did too!
That's a feeling I know well! I'm sure it will cool down soon there, it's already starting to over here. I'm glad you're day was good! Mine wasn't too bad either, just need a couple more hours in the day to get everything done...
