Waylaid

A nasty, nagging backache that has been causing me grief for a while, has me waylaid today. I'm giving in and staying home, stretching out on some heat.

It might be another round of sciatica, because my right leg and foot are involved this time. It might be my nerves. i might have pulled something out of whack. Who knows? I've been trying to call the doctor's office without success. (Answering machine is still on.)

Not sure what good he'll do. He always acts like I'm nuts. (This was the doc who let me go with a sinus infection for three months. Allergist cleared me up in a single visit.) Thinking it's time to get a new one, but it's hard to find one accepting new patients.

Love those PPOs.

Definitely time for a new doctor. I hope you're feeling better and up and about soon -- back problems are no fun.

Maybe stress, from Tigger?

I swear by Doan's back pills for stress backaches.

Ouch. Sure sounds like sciatica, since your leg & foot also hurt. Have you thought about going to a chiropractor? An adjustment might really help. Hope you're feeling better soon.

Thanks for all the well wishes! I'm off to the doctor later this week. And if he can't help me, my next stop IS a chiropractor. (Especially as I just found that a family friend is in our insurance plan!)

I hope he's competent this time. And I hope you feel better soon!
