I'm back from the MRI now.

Good news is - it's no spondylodiscitis.

Bad news: It's a herniated disk in my lower back (between L4 and L5).

At this point, I have no idea what's going to happen now, I wasn't told anything. They're sending the scan to the specialist I saw last week, and he will tell me how to go on. I hope I won't need surgery. And one thing is for sure: I really really have to work in my parents' restaurant, no matter what! I need the money!
