![]() If it ever gets severe like that again I will probably have the surgery but so far I've been lucky. It was also "sciatic" but they don't really call it that anymore. I had pain accross my left buttock and down my left leg. It also radiated out to my hip.

![]() My follow-up appt. was today (with the N. P.) She said that I had an old herniated disc (which I didn't know about), but also a bulging disc & a pinched nerve. She tried to give me a presciption for more muscle relaxers & an anti-inflamatory drug, but I told her that I didn't need them. The muscle relaxer puts me out & I'm not in that major pain enough for the anti-inflamatory drug. She said that it wasn't for pain but for inflamation. I told her that I'd just take aspirin or something. So I have to have physical therapy to which I said OK, but I'm thinking that I'll just go & see what I need to do & then I'll do it at home. I just don't have the time (to miss work) or the money for physical therapy. I had to ask her to show me the x-ray. I thought she'd just show it to me, but she seemed surprised that I wanted to see it.

![]() Ibuprofen!!
![]() I ended up buying a Total Gym after using one at PT post-surgery. It is a great piece of equipment for stretching. I agree w/ Suze, go to one PT session to learn what to do. They also had me use those giant rubberband things that you hook onto a doorknob. Those are probably inexpensive and can be purchased at any sporting goods store. |

![]() I've had a few MRIs, one of which with music. For me, being in enclosed places has never been an issue, so it was never a problem......

![]() hahaha this is what I do for a part time job during the summer when im home from school. I check in people for xrays, catscans, ultrasounds, mri's ect. Sometimes I get to even help out on the actual exam. In fact, im at work right now. Everyone who works or steps foot in this hospital is angry and miserable. I have found that working in a hospital has definitely made me a worry wort. Its so difficult to check in someone who is getting their lungs drained, or has breast or lung cancer. The down side of the job is big. But I always tell everyone not to be scared of these tests and to just relax. The exam itself isn't scary, its what the results could be.
