over the past few weeks my lower back has begun to hurt pretty bad. I was getting pain right at the base of my spine that began shooting down into my legs. figured it was time to test drive that health insurance and got it checked out. the doctors thought was a pinched cyatic nerve, but in order to rule out anything larger, they did some spinal xrays. they didnt like the looks of them, and now I am headed in for an MRI probably next week. yeah... heres the films.
