No running DAY 4. Yup can't run even if I tried to disobey my orders. Left leg going in and out of conciousness. Numb, burning, tingling, mostly burning from lower back to hamstring to ankle to foot. Herniated disc is most likely diagnoisis. Chiro appt tomorrow and regular dr. in afternoon then pain specialist for shot in the back a different day. feel so out of touch with NORMAL running. pain is wearing on me.

I am so sorry about the news Julie. Heal up and then you can get ready for St. George. You still have plenty of time. I know that herniated discs are a MAJOR injury. Please be careful with whatever you do!

Hi Bec. I was taking two full weeks off of running (no exercise at all for one week) then swimming the second week. But after reading up on herniations-- a month 50% people with herniations feel better if they rested....so maybe I will take the month with all my physical therapy/rehab. I inherited my mother's lower back problems. She had surgery when she was 40. She of course wants me to have surgery because hers was so successful. That was years ago..now the idea is rest, shots in the spine (even Ozone therapy, a new one I just learned about from a friend who recommended it). Weird stuff is out there and I am weird enough to try anything BEFORE surgery. Four years ago-- my MRI for my back when I had less pain showed central disk protrusion in two places and one dry disc and some crowding of the a nerve root...I got better than but that was four years ago....more running more age more running ...perhaps my intense PF really was my back after all!! as my hamstring feels like a hamstring problem but my chiro said it is referred pain as my hamstring if it were injured would be bruised to be causing this much pain. Yahta Yahta. blah. Hope is at the most a month off then slowly build mileage, jog SGM if I have to.
