Wow, good thing it was finally diagnosed properly!

Thankfully, my symptoms are far more tolerable than yours sound like. Everything I've read suggests that a disc problem is very unlikely at my age too, but I guess anything is possible.

DX Rider, I certainly appreciate the consideration. I'm eagerly awaiting my appointment.

I suppose I'm hoping someone will come in, say the same thing happened to them, and it was all cleared up in one week and one day
