Ouch


L5 compressed, L4 is perhaps involved. Sciatic nerve inflamed.

Ouch.

I am so sorry for you... can you rest? What is the treatment?

ice packs, bed rest/take it easy, keep moving(?), magnesium, anti-inflammatory until the swelling goes down. From there we'll see. Hopefully PT and time will be effective. In the mean time some painkillers wouldn't hurt. The house is disgustingand there's only frozen shit dinners since I really can't stand long enough to clean or cook. It sucks though for once the kid is trying to be sweet and loving towards me(care usually reserved for Big Daddy D). Trying to see the brighter side! =)

Ouch. Sounds like tomorrow's going to be the birthday version of Fuck It Friday.

Good luck!

Mom-if by big day you mean 4 torturous hours in a car then you are right. At least the pain is distracting me from the crazy 8's thing I have. Still looking for the bright side!

WG-Why yes it is indeed Fuckin' Friday! Hopefully with a cherry pie and a little ice cream to make it a little better. ILOVE YOUR HOUSE! Blessings in disguise my friend, blessings in disguise!
