Back update

So, for those of you who don't know, I have a herniated disc in my back. It has caused numbness and pain down the left leg. It has caused some problems for me over the last few weeks. I went to the doctor yesterday and I have a epidural steroid injection scheduled for next Wednesday. They also only do shots wednesdays. I wish it was today, but I apparently can't take alleve for 5 days before the shot. Apparently it thins the blood and can cause problems. I wish they told me that fact 5 days ago!!
