Well another day of pain. At least it has reduced itself to a 7-8. Some movements are still more difficult than others. Like sitting up. Had the physical therapist by today, was able to get to a standing position. And did it hurt, from the hip to the toe. I was able to stand for about 30 seconds. And that was my goal, to stand. Concedering I have not stood in four days.

Was not able to receive the steroid shot today, there was a scheduling error. The shot will help the disk remove inflammation. If there is relief or only temporary relief, than on to surgery. The goal will be to remove the herniated disk and burn nerve endings.
