So, instead of doing any workout today, I went to the hospital and had an MRI done on my back. Random right? Sort of.
Last week when I went to see my chiropractor we started talking about how to move forward with my lower back problem. I've been going to see him for a few months now with not much progress as far as "curing" my back pain. I was able to get a hold of x-rays done about a year ago by an Ortho doctor here in town (he was an ego-ass and I never went to see him again) and my chiro and I decided that the MRI might be the best bet now to move forward. Since I don't have shooting pain down my leg, it doesn't seem like I have nerve damage or anything wrong with the vertebrae itself BUT, the x-ray does show some kind of an abnormality for lack of a better word, to the spacing of my last vertebrae. It's all very confusing unless you're looking at the little model skeleton in the doctor's office. Basically, we're just checking to see if I'm falling apart from the outside in or from the inside out.
Anyway, that was my afternoon. I probably won't hear back for a few days but I'm hoping before the weekend. I'm going to press on with my training until I hear otherwise. I can't decide if I want to do the 5 miles I'm suppose to do or turn it up a bit and do a pretty hard hill workout. I guess I'll wait and see how I feel tomorrow and see what I can talk my friend Jenny into...
Night all!!
