My signature line is updated. Discogram tomorrow. Dr. Dare has my films and will review first week of Feb. Dr. Lauryssen has my films and will also review first week of Feb. Planning on setting up skype call with Dr. Clavel 2nd week of Feb.
3 weeks now of very manageable discomfort after a 4 week stretch of constant 4 to 6 pain. The last 3 days I have noticed that me shift has pretty much straightened out again. Minor 1 to 2 pain in lower back, 2 to 3 when doing my daily 30 min walk. No sciatica pain, just slight tingling in thigh and calf, slightly annoying and enough to let you know that everything is not right. If I do more bending or lifting pain increases and there is definitely the feeling of being more restricted to one side. It is good enough that I am asking myself the question again: live with it and keep my altered life for a while longer or get it fixed? I hope to discuss this question with the three doctors named above and ask if there are consequences from waiting.
