The good news is...

I don't have a disc injury. I have lower back swelling or something like that which is causing muscle tension and the pain that I am experiencing. There is swelling and fluid build up in my lower back and my spine was very out of alignment which can also cause the muscle tension. So I had a little adjustment which alleviated some of the problem and I have to go in for 3 treatments next week...huzzah. She also did this ultrasonic *massage* thing on my lower back which relaxed it quite a bit and relieved the tension.

She expects that I will be sore tomorrow so I am not to go in to work. *dances in an aligned manner* I am to continue the ice therapy and to try meditative things to relax my body...breathing deeply and oombie goombie zen meditation stuff. *cha* I don't know if I know how to do that but I will throw Enya on the stereo and lay staring off into space for a while and see if that works. *nod* Should work, eh?

So that is the result...no disc damage. Good news that.
