Health

You get relief. Shots have helped a little but seems surgery is in my near future. The exit holes in my L4 L5 have narrowed and are pinching the nerves. Pain down through legs and foot,
I had to have my Achilles cut to remove a big spur (a real one caused by actually serving injury) then screwed back on, it has been hell. The foot surgeon and back surgeon think the lingering foot pain through the plantar and toes, the numb legs and sciatica, are from the back.
I am not so sure, the Achilles hurts along with the other mess. Seems nerve damage has been done.
I Have an MRI coming for the back.
The whole mess has grounded me and has taken away my needed hiking in the forest. My only salvation for trump hell is the woods. This back and foot mess is killing me and my soul.
My brother had one of the alignment cages put in and he says it helped a whole lot.
Sure wish you best. All the football hitting fun and running down Mountains are coming to get me.
Not the good part of retirement.
