Back Pain, or: How I became the Hunchback of Notre Dame

Yeah I know plenty of back problems. I lift 40lb boxes all the time (I'm a female, no strong upper strength) at work in the morning to put down on a cart that's a foot off from the foor. And those boxes usually have books or bottles of food or lotion. :\ I had major problems where I was walking with a hunched over stature. But that went away quick when I told them I cannot lift anything anymore. Thankfully that worked itself out.

However... I transferred to another store a few months later, and my car ended up in the shop to where I needed to walk a mile to work. Not a biggie. But around that time, I got what Lady Miyomi got. A spiking pain in the buttock at least it felt there, and soon it was progressing further down to my right sole of my foot as months went by. I went to the doctor, and I was prescribed inflammotory meds but the good that did. I went to the specialist, then finally surgeon in the matter of 7 months of the whole damn ordeal. It hurt so bad its jsut hurting all the time. My leg would feel like its on fire with the shooting pain.

The surgeon saw my MRI and said oh yeah it needs to be taken out, turns out it was a large protuding nerve bubble (inbetween disks) that was obstructing the other nerves that connected with my leg. That's pretty much a herinated disk right there. He told me after surgery that it was large enough to be a size of a thumb nail. :\ Crap. He didn't expect it to be that large either, but man do I feel better. My leg pain is gone, and I can walk without a limp now. On occasion though, I would feel that phantom nerve spike though.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
