Thanks, BB. BTW, I've had a home BP monitor for years, but with the pain, last Saturday, the BP was never taken. And, I think I have a handle on the pain, I think there are two problems. I'm betting even money I have a prostate problem. We'll know this week when I see the personal saw bones. Charles

| Just to keep everyone informed, I went to my presonal psysician today. I do not have a prostate problem. I do not have a hernia. He has acquired the results of the MRI and it clearly shows an "almost" pinched nerve in the L-5 area, and another in the L-4 area. If I move the wrong way the "almost" is taken out of the equation. I've been seeing a chiropractor for years, and my Dr. is going to work with my chiropractor to determine a course of action. Epidural steriod spinal injections are a possibility. Will let you know more when I know. Charles

| As a fellow back pain sufferer, I know your pain, Charles. I'm not taking away from your misery, but I'm glad to hear it's a pinched nerve and not anything more serious.

| Woah! That is bad Charles... IDEA: has your physiotherapist mentioned water exercises, such as doing the dogpaddle in shallow water? This gets you a lot of excercise while supporting your vulnerable joints. Just an idea! |

| Yes, BB, we have discussed water therapy. I love to swim, and I have swam is six of the seven seas. We have a Y.M.C.A. [reminds me of a song] just 3/4 of a mile from my house, and I'm going to join. I think it's $50.00 a year for a senior citizen, but you can use it 365 days a year. Thanks for caring.... Charles

 | Good to hear it's nothing more serious! While it's certainly not a good thing to have, it's better than some of the alternatives.

| Actually Charles, I'm kinda relieved to hear it's a pinched nerve. I know they can be very painful but worse things can happen to us folks. P.S. Noticed you got a spammer on another thread. You an "ace" yet?  TO
