Of All the Nerve!

Linda has decided that she has to go back to the Dr. about her back/hip/leg issues.  She got a referral from a friend who has had back surgery, but she needs to check if the practice takes her insurance first.  Besides the pain of sitting, the pain lying down is starting to become bad enough that she can't sleep. Sometimes walking is tricky too, almost as if she telling her leg to move and it won't obey and buckles.  If she lets it go too long, it might hinder her from teaching any of her classes, walking up the pyramids on vacation or picking up babies (!) in the nursery.  The first Dr. said that letting the disc issue go on too long will permanently cause nerve damage in her legs.  After having her knee replacement heal so well and working like a charm, this back problem is making her mad. How dare it not work properly!!
