Funny thing… my leg stopped hurting today.

It was feeling pretty good last night, and not too bad this morning, and now is nearly pain free.

Of course, it’s also gone numb.

So… I have an appointment with my Doctor at 11:50 today. Every time I’ve gone in to discuss the problems with it, he’s always asked if I’ve experienced any numbness (a sign of nerve damage). I have a whole can of numbness to show him today!

Being pain free is a relief, but honestly, this has got me fairly concerned. I’ll post more as I know more.

Update: I just got back from seeing my doctor.

According to him, I probably had the numbness all along, but he believes that my body has reabsorbed enough of the ruptured disk to remove some of the pressure on the nerve bundle (thus, the sudden alleviation of my pain).

I’m still on for the surgery, but at least for the moment, I’m pain free.

I can live with that!
