Thanks!
sue, sciatica is a possibility, except there's no numbness - just pain. The x rays showed a definite shift though. Doc also mentioned degenerative arthritis, and bone spurs. yikes The thought of surgery super stressful - maybe why the high BP's?
My job demands physical activity, so i'm not sitting at work - nor at home, the same. I do rest when i'm home though - but housework, gardening, kittens, etc - keep me busy.
Past few days i've accomplished nada - zero physical activities. Read, watch movies, walk some, and a few light stretching exercises is all. Posting here, click for the rainforest and animals, and then off the computer for a few hours.
Working toward a good prognosis.
