I just need to vent and whine a bit. My back is really bad right now. They aren't sure exactly what the problem is, as my MRI shows several possible problems. The doctors are going with degenerative arthritis in L4-L5, but I'm also having pain in my left buttock as well as severe pain in my lower back. On top of that, my Crohn's is really bothering me. I am at work today, and I just totally stunk up the ladies room. I always get so embarrassed by it, even though it isn't on purpose. I hate being in a public restroom for explosive diarrhea. But with my back hurting, the diarrhea is even more painful.
I had a cortisone injection on Friday to try to lessen the pain in my back, but in actuality, the pain is much worse. I don't get to participate as much with my son because the only way to alleviate the back pain is to lie flat on my back. Meanwhile, the house is a complete mess, even with my husband doing more than usual.
Thanks for listening.
