Unfortunately, not a whole lot has changed since last Monday. I am still in a good amount of pain and limited to being able to do nothing. I decided to start this blog to keep people up-to-date on my current condition and progress. It also helps me from having to repeat things frequently. And I am extremely bored during the day.
I saw a orthopedic surgeon today to evaluate my MRI results and discuss treatment options. We are going the non-surgical route first. I will be getting an epidural soon to relieve the pain while my back slowly heals. If that is not effective, I will most likely undergo a microdiscectomy to remove the disc fragment blocking the nerve.
Below are some excellent videos about my injury and treatment.
