Well the verdict is in.. I just returned from the orthopedic surgeon...
I have degenerative disc disease... which I had a suspicion I had from an urgent care visit 2 years ago.
The doctor didn't even need to do the MRI, my X-Rays from the ER were enough for him to tell that my lower discs were pretty much gone... He said if I start having bad leg pain (sciatica) then they would do one.. but he thinks for now my discs aren't bulging or herniated, just aggravated from the bones pretty much crushing them!
He just gave me some Rx anti-inflammatory to take for two weeks to hopefully get rid of this "flare up". And i'll continue the steroids until they're gone too.
But on a good note i'm mostly going everything on my own so I THINKKK i'll be okay come Saturday! I guess you'll have to wait for the TR to find out!! See you guys then!!
