What the Doctor Said....
Well, I got back from the Doctor about 2 hours ago. I am still in pain and have to go back tomorrow. He put me on some natural muscle relaxors and gave me a special diet to follow. (This doctor is older but in GREAT shape and is a huge proponent of "natural" treatments).
They did an x-ray, and the good news is that I don't have any disc injuries. That is a blessing. But my weight is a cause and how I sleep as well. He told me to NEVER use heat on my back and to sleep on my side with 2 pillows between my knees. He said if I do sleep on my back to NEVER put pillows under my legs but to lay flat.
I have to go back tomorrow for a follow-up and he is giving me a special belt/brace to wear that will hopefully help me get through the weekend since I have to go to Florida on Saturday for a concert.
So, please keep me in your prayers! I truly do appreciate that!
