I blogged a while back that I had hurt myself but did'nt get into any details.
Well, against my better judgement I got on my kids' trampoline with my daughter for all of 30 whole seconds when I felt my lower back "compact." Little did I know that I would pay dearly for my stupidity.
That evening and the next day my lower back hurt, but then the pain over the next week started traveling down my left leg. I figured It would eventually ease up, buy it has only progressively gotten worse. I can hardly walk at times and the pain is unbearable.
I went to the chiropractor thinking he could help but no. Two days later still a lot of pain. I have a doctors appt this morning. Hopefully something good will come out of it. The pain is almost indescribable. And the muscle spasms...WOW!
Some say it's a pulled muscle, while others say it's a pinched nerve. I don't know because I haven't ever had either.
Wish me luck at the appt.
Oh the pain!

Might be a herniated disk pushing against the sciatic nerve. My DH just had surgery for this two months ago.
Good luck with your Dr. appointment. The Dr. should recommend an MRI for you.

Daylily, how did your husbands surgery go? and what is the recovery time? Hope he's doing fine now.
