It's Official--Herniated Disk

I've been dealing with lower back pain/sciatica for the last 18 months or so. I've gone to Chiropractors, physical therapists and pain management doctors.

Right before Thanksgiving I finally went and had an MRI done and the results show a herniated (also referred to as a ruptured) disk.

I was hoping it would get better on it's own but .... guess not.

I am going to have cortisone injections done on Dec. 10th and hopefully that will give me some relief but it looks like some back surgery is in my future. Ugh!
