Been there, done that. So glad it's working for you Amrita! If the pain comes back, try leaning against the wall while pressing a tennis ball into that same spot to relief some of the pressure. That helps me some.
I'm very grateful, too. Pretty much, I write about what's up.
And luckily, I managed to get the MRI scheduled for Sunday. Then we'll know what's really going on--if it's a pinched nerve or ruptured disc. The treatment is the same, and that's scheduled for October 7th--steroid epidural injection into that place in my spine. I've had this done twice before--I ruptured L4/5 twice, eight and six years ago. These injections, while anxiety producing and uncomfortable, made a massive difference. I ask for a little valium beforehand....
Oooh, do hate needles. Need to distract myself every time. Was a time I’d almost faint. Glad that’s past.

Thank you. Yes, I've done that.
Grateful you've found relief (albeit, temporary!) And you turned the pain into poetry! A witness to one of the many purposes and the power of art!
