It's official. I have a name for my pains... You ready? I have.... "radiculopathy". It sounds like either a character on Sesame Street or a name Dr. Seuss would come up with. Well, it's not an actual disease, just a condition. I even have to get an MRI and possibly have physical therapy. It's slightly hilarious. I don't have any kind of medical history and one day I wake up and my back hurts, which turns into my leg hurts and now I have to get an MRI and go to a physical therapist. Probably not for long but she basically said I just need to make sure I have a strong back. So, she prescribed me some steroid things and hopefully that'll take away my limping and symptoms. At least I have somewhat of an answer. But she said I'll probably always be prone to this type of thing. Boo.
My husband thinks I'm crazy because I love the name of the diagnosis. I keep saying, "Oh, you didn't know? I have radiculopathy." He's like, "Why are you proud of your illness?" Because the name rocks, that's why.
