As y'all probably remember, I mentioned that I had I had back surgery in April. The next three months were bearable since the medications were actually masking a lot of the pain that was still left. Well, as with many good things, this did not last. A few weeks ago I began having shooting pains in my left leg and the tingling has returned to my left leg and foot. As we've now exhausted all possible options, all I can do now is take the pain medication and continue the dieting and what little exercise I can do.
