Back Problems

 Not much work is getting done around here lately.  I did something to my back some weeks ago and it's just getting worse.  

I finally decided it's time to do something about it so I went to a Chiropractor.  Her treatments helped a little but I had a long way to go so I got my primary care doc involved.  He ordered xrays and  prescribed a muscle relaxing drug.  No help.  The xrays showed degenerative disc disease and arthritis. 

From there we went to frequent icing, prednisone and rest.  That helped a lot but I can't be on prednisone the rest of my life so this Friday I'm getting an MRI to see more clearly what else might be  going on. 

In the meantime at least I'm able to function.  Back to mowing.  Stay tuned.
