Well, after having a back hip issue since mid Sept, a couple weeks ago it got worse. I went back into the doctor who ordered an MRI and the result is I have a disc herniation at L5. So now I'm on another dose of predisone and doing PT. He is being rather aggressive knowing I have some big plans for next tri season, so on Dec 3rd I am scheduled to have an epidural injection into the spine to help with inflamation. If all this doen't work then the last resort is surgery which I'm told only about 10% of the patients need but the way my luck has been going I'll be in that 10%. Not the way I envisioned my off season.
