Hey everyone i wanted to drop by and let everyone know what is going on... as i states about 3 weeks ago i stepped out of my van and felt something pop in my back, I was able to get into the back Doc fairly quickly who refused to do scans and wanted to do steroids insisting it was probably a soft tissue injury and he gave me steroids for 7 days and to call or email if there was no change... so now with screaming sciatic pain i emailed him and told him i need a MRI before we proceed any father as i am sure this is one hell of a bulge or herniation. The pain has been so bad at times that i have been retaining urine... and having to go back to straight caths as needed... my wife asked if a Foley would be easier...bless he heart....
With all this going on I finally got scheduled with my new VA Doc at the end of the month only took me calling them weekly for the last 3 weeks. persistence does pay off granted its not with Seattle that is only 25 miles away i get drive up north like 45 miles to Mount Vernon WA. I guess that will be easier as i can do the drive and not deal with traffic and be there fairly quickly... Now only if my navy medical records show up soonish would be awesome....
