I Cancelled my Back Surgery
I had a fusion scheduled for May 19th. I cancelled it. The physical therapy and swimming have reduced the pain in the back to a much lower level. It still hurts, but I can handle it. Now I have a new pain in what I think is my left sacroiliac joint. It could be tailbone pain. It's hard to tell, but I'm 80% sure it's the sacroiliac. I would bet I have arthritis there too. So, I'll see the local pain doctor this coming week and see what he suggests...maybe a cortical-steroid shot would help. We'll see.
