I REALLY hope you get to visit WDW in December as I loved that one visit we had and I cannot wait to see more photos of the Christmas decorations and your sweet little Claire!

I just went and read your PTR (using the cheat links) too. I was so excited to see you have such an awesome trip coming up. I have been out of the loop for awhile. I read daily, but was subcribed to so many for awhile I had a heck of a time catching up...Ok, that still is pretty much how it is. LOL!

My DH has 2 herniated discs (bulging discs). They 'flare up' at times and other times is he fine with no pain. The dr also said surgery may or may not cause more pain and due his other health issues they dont want to operate on him. When he gets a flare up a dose of steriods and pain meds help. The steriods help decrease the inflamation and the pain meds help until the inflamation goes down.

The dr also told my DH to lose weight, that it would help as well!

jenseib · 07-03-2010, 07:37 PM

Thanks for that info. I do beleive Skip needs to lose weight (as do I!). He put on several lbs over the past few years, but he doesn't see it, so anytime I mention his "pregnant" belly he gets mad. LOL!
And he has been doing better over the past few days. Not good, but he can actually walk some now.

GoofyWife · 07-04-2010, 01:30 PM

I'm glad they pinpointed your husband's problems, although its kind of good news, bad news. Surgery does help some with back problems, usually they'll try medications, steroid injections and possibly physical therapy to strengthen the muscles in his back before they suggest surgery. Hopefully he'll feel better soon.

jenseib · 07-04-2010, 01:35 PM

Do you think his leg muscles would be weak from it too? He is convinced the Dr is wrong again, since he can't barely move his leg...he has had this problem since the hip surgery and the Dr doesn't know why. I wondered if he has babied the leg so much that the leg muscles just didn't get stronger. I guess we'll find out eventually. It just seems to be taking forever to get this all straightened out.

JPFamilyMom · 07-04-2010, 03:22 PM

Subbing, I read your last TR, after it was over, I didn't find it until long after you had completed it. But it was a lot of fun. Looking forward to following along for the fun this time.

joy13 · 07-04-2010, 09:55 PM

I'm here and caught up

I'm sorry to hear Skip is still having so much pain! Hopefully the back Dr. will be more helpful than the hip Dr.

Love Paige's graduation pictures - looks like it was a great day!

Thanks for joining! I hope all works out for us, with Skip and the trip!

Kathy Jetson · 07-05-2010, 01:08 PM

Good luck with the back dr. I hope you can get some answers this time.

Loved the pictures!

dallastxcpa · 07-05-2010, 06:12 PM

So sorry to hear about your DH health. A co-worker of mine also had a bulging disc and did decompression therapy through a chiropracter. Now she is not 100% back to where she was before but she is about 95% better.

This is where I'm confused, as Skip went to the Chiropractor a few days before the MRI and the Chiro found NOTHING wrong and didn't even give him an adjustment. Which I would think a Chiro would find even something little to keep you coming back. LOL!
