May end up in hospital (slipped disk again, getting worse, #52)

[Kirsten]

I'm still here, but still in pain. I'm going to have a computer tomography tomorrow to find out what's wrong in my lower spine. Wouldn't be surprised if it's another herniated disk, but we'll see...

Still no news re. what the authorities want me to do, but I hope if my back needs to be treated in the first place, I'll be able to do that in a day clinic, so I wouldn't have to leave my girls.

But the entire situation is really frustrating!

I am so sorry for your health issues. Sending you good thoughts and many prayers.

[Kirsten]

Thanks Marigold!

Had the computer tomography this morning, and like I thought, it's another herniated disk. A massive one, according to the radiologist, so it could really be that surgery is the next option. But that's not sure yet, need to wait for my doctor's decision. Too bad that the neurosurgeon I saw a while ago has passed away meanwhile.

I'll be saying prays for you. I'm so sorry for the pain and all the stress you've been having.

I know what it's like to have the sciatica pain. I get that from time to time, more recently and they did a lower injection but that didn't help too much and the doctor said he would try another one and see what happens so I get to go get another one done at the end of this month and I'm not looking forward to it at all.

Take care and I wish you luck.

Kirsten, have you tried acupuncture for the pain ????
That really works well with some people, but sometimes not at all with others.
Might be worth a shot...eh ???
