Well, I finally got a diagnosis: Degenerative Disc Disease, Sacroilliac irritation, and ridiculitis (a can't spell any of those, so don't hold it against me). To me, that means even if I manage to get through this current round, I'll probably have more problems in the future.

Unfortunately, the government has decided that I'm not bad enough of to be considered disabled, even though I can only stand for maybe 15 minutes without pain, if that.

And add on top of that that I no longer have internet at home, and am not able to check Pixie's at all. I got licky and snuck onto Pixie's while at my parents' place, which means it'll only be a quick visit.

But the current treatment is Voltaren gel on the sore spots, TENS machine use to help with the siatic nerve, and a shot in the scaro-illiac area coming up. Hopefully this will help some, cause Physical Therapy did not.

So, if anyone really needs to get a hold of me, just message Lizzardbits to get my email addy, since I can check that least once a week, but they tend to frown on me checking places like Pixie's at the public library
