Daily dose...

Got prodded, poked and scanned today and now I know the cause of my sciatica is a probably a lumbar disc pressing on the nerve. Treatment is an injection which should take away the pain and start the healing process.
Also went to the dentist who wants to dig out my root canal next week - hence the addition of yet more drugs :-/
If all goes well I shall be pain free at both ends in a few weeks, and I can start cutting down on all the drugs!
