[Region Warrior]

Bringing back up to the top for those still putting off.

Dealing with left lower back, butt, and leg(pinched nerve) pain for 10-15 years. Usually only lasts a day or two. Sometimes a week or more.
Then last winter the pain lasted a month before couldn't deal with it. Also weight loss for no reason except not eating as much, but more healthy. No fast foods except Subway cause all the others made me feel crummy.

Blood test and chest x-ray(smoke cigars) came back all good.
MRI on lower disc's showed something according to Tech.
Muscle relaxers took care of problem in a few days, so stopped taking them(No pain killers cause don't like the effect). Pain free for months along with some weight gain, so didn't go back to doc.

Now it's flared up again for no reason, but different.
No experience of sudden pitched nerve shooting across hip and down back of thigh. More of just a constant dull muscle ache/tension in same location PLUS now a tennis ball size on/off ache on same front side.

May have nothing to do with colon, but that's next test on the list.
Called Internal Medicine Monday and got lucky. They had a cancellation for tomorrow.
Sure gon'a miss my beer and bourbon tonight...
