MRI results are not encouraging. My entire lumbar region is messed up. Five enlargements of connecting tissue between vertibrae. Four reduced spinal cord passages. Three herniated disks (1 bulge, 1 protrusion, 1 extrusion). One bone spur pressing on the spinal cord.

Now I get to see another doctor for epidural steroid injections!

Not being able to walk upright is annoying. Not being able to run is driving me nuts.

Walked a mile. Tried running, went a whole 1/10th mile, feels like my hips are in a vise. Too painful to run without pain meds first and I hate taking pills. Did some core strengthening and stretching.

2 miles at a slow easy pace. It felt so good to get outside. Lots of stretching and daily core strengthening exercises. My doctor says no trail running yet, but at least I can run, yay!
