@nprofile1q... thanks! I’m already a pilates fan, and very happy to do any physio exercises to help me improve, so that will definitely help! I was lucky to only wait two hours in the hospital before the procedure.

@nprofile1q... Thank you for the tip. I was lucky that the food was really good! (And they had options for dietary requirements.)

@nprofile1q... that does sound a lot like what I’ve got. I hope your MRI shows an issue you can get fixed quickly!

@nprofile1q... I’m so excited for that part!

@nprofile1q... amazing, thank you!

@nprofile1q... yeah. Thanks, that’s reassuring to hear!

@nprofile1q... that’s great to hear! It should only be 1-2 nights’ stay. I should be mobile very quickly, but have also been warned that it’ll take 4 weeks before I’m doing light exercise.

@nprofile1q... that sounds scary. Fingers crossed you find a way to get rid of the pain!

@nprofile1q... just pulling out the part that’s pressing on the nerve.

@nprofile1q... that is very reassuring. Thank you!

@Tio I hope you find the cause soon! I get how frustrating it is. The back pain got really bad in February, and only turned into nerve pain in March. I put off getting an MRI and was handling it like it was muscular for too long. Fortunately once I went for an MRI, it clearly showed the disc bulging and pressing on the nerve.

I’ve found lying on the floor with my legs at a 90 degree angle (resting on a footstool) helps decompress the spinal area. (Monitor overhead!) But that’s quite specific!
