Galahad-----I forgot to add this ---
I also ride the bike for 20 minutes
do a wall press
use this one step thing and he uses that tems machine --which is awesome---pads on both butts---and then the machine slowly stimulates the irrated nerves---
and he also does a firm press on the sternum to (as he words it) balance both sides of me---
this is a 2 hour workout twice a week ---
being the pain had eased but returned with a vengence --thus the MRI with contrast to check issues---
and I forgot this item---also have 2 cysts on my kidney---but this appears to be something that is not devastating--!!!common!!!!
I am seeing my GP--and the group are RENAL specialist--so I am not to worried about the cysts---
And I am gearing towards NO surgery---well

that the neuro will agree----
have a great weekend--
