Back Troubles

I finally got the results of an MRI that I had on my back. Multiple torn and/or bulging disks. One of the disks is bulging into my central canal (the canal where my spinal cord runs) and pushing my spinal cord, which is causing the pain. At least now I know the cause of the pain.

I have begun multiple treatments - continued acupuncture, water therapy, regular doses of anti-inflamatory drugs, and muscle strengthening. So far, my back feels much better than it did before. I have an appointment with an orthapedist in mid-September. We shall see what he has to say...
