I have been having a burning sensation in my right leg for the last 15 years. I have told several doctors about it. Well, just the other day, I had a MRI that showed bulging discs at L4, L5, L6 and S1. With some degeneration in a few. So the Neurologist says I have a pinched nerve and that is the cause of the pain. I went to see an orthopedic doctor and he says the Meralgia thing. So today I go the Pain Management Doc for a shot of cortozone in my spine. How much fun that was! Right now I have sore muscles in both legs and I feel as if I have towed the space shuttle from Edwards AFB to the Cape by rope. I was able to see the needle embedded in my backside on the screen. Lucky me....I have a bone spur on one vertebrae and he has to do it again. I May have to have a few more of these injections before Thanksgiving (American Holiday in Nov for thase in other lands) So, I guess I will have to do my festing at home and will probably not be visiting any this fall. My Cardiologist says no beer. My GP says no beer. My Neurologist is an Asian immigrant that wears cowboy duds to the office. He says, no beer. My ADHD, with a heavy side order of oppositional behavior says I can have all the beer I want. My wife says listen to the docs. I say ADHD rules!!!

I know that after I have back surgery I will be all better. But,I know what I want. Fuse the verts and get back to the bars. int: If there are any doctors out there, I am sure you will agree with the docs and my wife. Thank you all for the time to rant.
