My back woes are improving. I again can get around a little on crutches and can sit in chairs for a few hours. I have to favor my left side for movements or bearing my weight. I still get radialculopathy pain in my right leg and it shifts from thigh to ankle and in between. There is a touch of numbness in my right quadriceps which is different from before last winter when that was in my calf and ankle. I had thought that at first was from lying in contorted positions for long hours but it is more than that. I have an appointment with my orthopedist next Monday. I have been watching what I've been eating and drinking to save trips to the bathroom and really, I haven't been very hungry. Since I could stand a little today I was able to weigh myself. It took a few tries since digital scales don't deal well with shakiness. My current weight is at least a good positive benefit from all of this.

My back problems worsened more so I'm bed ridden for a while. Radialculopathy pain down my right leg to my ankle is severe when vertical and abated but still nearly omnipresent when lying down. I've started some medications but won't see my orthopedist till next week since he is on vacation.
