unlikely to care (and therefore fair game for

circumstance that led to the problem. The lower back
pain that preceded the nerve symptoms felt like classic
lifted-something-heavy-the-wrong-way.
But I hadn't done anything of the kind! I had been
bending over a clothes-folding table in the laundromat
reading a newspaper spread out on it. I straightened up,
bent down to pick up an empty laundry hamper and...yikes!
I'm 63, conscientious about fitness without being
obsessive, and the previous day walked six or seven miles.


Charles,

Why are you in such denial? You have a condition which, as much as
one can get from this medium (Newsgroups). is pretty classical for a
herniated disc. Non-treatment of this condition, if present, can lead
to permanent disability.

Get thee to a specialist. Neurosurgeon is best, neurologist or spinal
orthopedist also acceptable.

My final comment.


Best,

Bob
