Gosh I am so depressed I got my scale today and it said I gained 6lbs. But the doctor's office said different it's like starting over again darn it!

Thanks everyone for your back and MRI stories! I have an appointment with a physical therapist tomorrow, so hopefully I'll get some exercises to do to strengthen my back. More working out=good, right? Right.

Sounds like some of you with back problems (and perhaps disc problems) are in or have been in a lot of pain. My pain is definitely not severe right now... though I am wondering the likelihood it will get worse... my symptoms seem to shift around a bit.

In other events, I'm a HUGE Red Sox fan, and I actually have the opportunity to see them in the playoffs tomorrow in Chicago! I've never been to a playoff game before!! I'm very psyched!
