Good Tuesday Morning
Yesterday started early with a medical appointment. The clinic was very busy so my wait was long. I found the root cause of the extreme pain I associated with the sciatic nerve. It's this:
The L4 nerve root is a major spinal nerve in the lower back that branches off the spinal cord and exits between the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae. It controls sensation and movement in the legs, and irritation or compression here commonly causes lower back and leg pain.
I've been having some of the worst pain I've ever had. My right leg came close to being unusable. Actually more than close. I am now on prednisone and a nerve relaxant. I felt a difference yesterday afternoon. I woke up with pain but not as intense.
More adventures for me. As usual, it's playing catchup time again. If you don't hear from me this is why. For some reason the song "don't worry, be happy" just popped into my head. Okay!
