my goodness....it sure is funny how a little knee can give your complete body such trouble. Apparently, I have a VERY high tolerance for pain, which is something I have been aware of since the birth of MaryElizabeth. I had x-rays of my back today and have a "bulging disc"....whatever that is. No pain unless some touches me in the lower back area. The doctors are at a loss as to how I have been able to function with the severity of it...I personally, have not felt much pain or what I think is pain. Apparently, it is a real problem because so much damage can be done when you don't feel pain. Eddis gets lower back pain and my sister in law has a lower back problem too. I am sure we all have different types of problems. The lower back is a real problem for a lot of people.
Part of the reasoning for the "non-pain" I feel ---in theory is that I do not sit or lay very much during the day. I am always on the go. I stand all the time, I rarely sit. We will see how all the "stuff" works to make it better. From my understanding it could cause real problems years down the road.
