I also forgot to mention this
on the last page of the MRI it states
Impression:
L5-S1 disc protrusion with mass-effect upon the proximal right S1 nerve root as described.
I think this time I got it all..lol
thank you again :)
Forgot to mention that I also experience a tight banding sensation on my lower stomach as well as my thighs. I went to the store yesterday, trying to move instead of loafing on the couch. I only picked up a few things. By the time I reached the counter I was completly exhausted and in horrible pain. I was sweating like I had been running a marathon. It took all I had to get to my truck crawl in (4x4) and drive home. Yes I am over weight. Mostly to thyroid disease and 4 pregnancies and steriods and depression meds. I also have high blood pressure, sleep apnea, burcitis (sp) in both hips, mild kidney damage, carpel tunnel in my right wrist. I know I have several things going on.. However my weight has never stopped me before.. I know it's a huge issue and plays a huge part in most of this.. I will see a different doc on the 28, since my normal dr can't see me until the 12 of sept. If anyone can give any help to what is going on and if activity is okay for me.. I get so out of breath when walking this didn't start until the back issue..
Thank you for your time and any help you can give
ps I'm 32 with 3 children
