A herniated disc, L3/L4, mid lower back, that is pressing the nerve going down my left side.
Dr Dave will have his office contact the neurosurgeon in Peoria, and I will go down for a consultation. He said that he always guesses wrong what the neurosurgeon will do, but that it is definitely something that surgery could fix.
So there is a spring in my step, because I now know what is wrong, and I'm on the path to getting fixed. I will let you know how this progresses, and keep my bitching about it to a minimum.
