lumbago vs bulging disc flare/irritation

[Guest guest]

I must really have gotten " set back " by all this lyng around for so many weeks

because after my therapy yesterday I thought i only had my leg to worry about

and

it seemed willing so I had my dh escort me to the grocery store (one cane from

curb to

inside basket) for under 15 items. I felt fine but very tired in legs, feet and

back on way back out. Today i am aying for it with a major bout of Lumbago.

Had to bring the forearm crutches into the house to use more like a walker and

had to cancel

an appointment.

I think i am just weakened in that L area from lying around lately and have

been from years of favoring this knee problem. I think my lower back will

restrengthen over time like everything else arond thebknee should now that the

knee is new and i am up and about out of the house more again. I just have to

not rush and get set back onto my butt from oain. i do have a potential for an

old injury ( possible L4-L5 bulging disc) to flare but this as miserable as it

is is about 1/3 as bad as that used to flare to years ago.
