So ummm yeah found out I could have a slipped disk..
15 years ago
So got a call from the doctor. She told me that the arthiris is not bad on the hips and back. However there is a 2cm or greater area showing on the spine of a slipped disk between the L1, and S1 section. Still kinda new to the terms. She gave me the term, but damn will I never remember the spelling.
So she wants me to get a CT scan to make sure about it.
You see for the past 6 months I have been starting to get numbness in the left hip and leg from standing for 15 min. Yes that small a time. If I sit after the numbness goes away and its fine until I stand again.
So that explains alittle of how this came to be.
I don't like the diagnosis of what was said, but when she says they have to get a CT done to check out the actual slipping, and that a Neuro surgeon might need to be contacted as well if its bad, that scares the hell out of me..
SO I am right now alittle scares, but mostly just blah.
Gonna get what I need to done, and see what can be done non surgery if it comes down to the amount.
So numbness in the ass and hip and leg on either side could be a sciatic nerve pinch with the slipping. Nice....
Anything more life wants to throw at me while I am steadly going down the last 4 years?
