Well update on my back. I had to break down and go to the chiropractor today because it was hurting so bad. The muscle relaxers, ibuprofen and bio freeze helped a little but only temporarily. It is a bulging disk pinching my siactic nerve causing the shooting pains and numbness in my legs. He also thinks it might be laying on my spinal cord causing some other problems. They usually do x-rays first but could see the bulge so went right into therapy and adjustments to get me walking again to which I am grateful. I have to change my life. Eat better, exercise my body and back, stay better hydrated, rest (at least 7 hrs a night.) See him 2 to 3 times a week until get disk gets worked back in. I already feel a little better. I found out things I did not know. Like my disk can go out at any time even at rest. I was just grocery shopping. Your back structure controls a lot of other things in your body you would not even think about. He gave me exercises to do in the car on the way to work and other times. I am grateful for having a competent doctor and not so much pain.
