Thanks for asking Jean, I'm actually not any better. In fact there are times I think it's worse. I did finally see MY doctor today and he's ordered an MRI ASAP so we can see if it's a bulging disc or what is going on. We've changed my meds from Vicodin and flexerell to percocet and valium. I went through a week of prednisone hell but it didn't do any good either.
I still have trouble getting comfortable sitting, standing, walking or even trying to lie down. I'm taking things a day at a time. It's so frustrating. I dug out my cane and used it for the first time in nearly 2 years to get to the doctor's office on the bus today. The pain meds seem to be making me drowsy, but I'm hoping they can let me sleep tonight.
My Doctor said we'll get the MRI, check the results and the next step will be to see a neuro surgeon depending what it shows, possibly injections or surgery if it's necessary. I'm trying to watch Heroes right now and then I hope I can just pass out for the night, it's been a LONG day.

Don't think of it as getting hot flashes. Think of it as your inner child playing with matches
