Therapy for a few weeks, no improvement, MRI...then a second MRI with contrast
Extruding disk, L5-S1
Workman's Comp
Pain 100% of the time, but manageable when sitting or reclining in front of the tv
still at work, light duty
able to drive long distances, but no standing for more than 5 minutes without great pain!
Still waiting to see the Surgeon for the FIRST visit...in 2 weeks!
It was all that stupid woman's fault! And the DC Court system let her go, no prosecution!
There's Amtrak trains going there...
I have the 27th marked to be there.
I've got it! An easy chair on wheels. As one who was blessed to not have to go under the knife, for continual back problems, I wish you the best whatever the decision. My solution was exercise, orthopedic seats in the cockpit for the last two years of my military career, and finally, retirement from the travel stress, and 150 lbs of stuff I had to carry every time we went off on another all expense paid tour of the world, which was quite often. Not to mention the schedule once we got to that part of the world where we were needed.
