Hope this finds things calmed down - and your pain less.

Please let us know how you are & what the Dr's ofc had to say.

I called the doctor from work first thing on monday. I actually spoke to him personally. He said he wanted to see me but only had hours this week on monday and friday. Since I was already at work (I carpool and have a long commute) I could not get to him on Monday, so I am seeing him friday. The weird thing is that the pain has subsided a lot. My husband thinks I may have been dealing with muscle spasms. Does that sound possible? Can muscles go into spasm for no reason? Anti-inflammatories and ice seems to be helping a lot. It just makes me nervous that the pain seems to be centered where my scar is. Hopefully, the doc will be able to give me some reassurance on Friday.

Well, I just got back from the doctor and he does not think I reinjured the disk. He is pretty sure that I pulled or badly strained a muscle. My pain is basically gone thanks to Lodine and ice. However, my lower back is still out of wack. It takes me a little while to stand upright after sitting for long periods. My upper back and shoulders hurt because I guess they are compensating for the lower back. He wants me to do another 6 weeks of physical therapy and then go back and see him.

Hi,

So glad you didn't do any damage to your disk. Know it has to be a relief to have that news, and good you went to see the doc. More PT will certainly help ensure things continue going well.

Great news for starting out the weekend!
