That's right...that nagging, irritating, and nonstop pain in my back for the past 18 months is a herniated disc in my back. Yay for me...riiiight.
Good news = No surgery...WOOHOO!!! Bad news = epidural (LONG needle in my spine).
In case you're wondering what a herniated disc looks like, here's a sneak peek. No, it's not my MRI, but yes...it's that painful.
I'm glad that at least now I have a firm diagnosis and course of treatment. It isn't fun, mind you, but it's somewhat satisfying to know I'll be able to feel better soon...thank God!

UGH!
My step dad has that. I won't tell you what's up with him, it's too depressing. I really hope the treatment works for you!
