Hi dbiker (didn't you post here a while back? what's your first name?)
and hello libra

I appreciate your replies. dbiker, when my sciatica acts up all I can do is cry - and it takes a lot for me to cry over something not emotional. We have a wheelchair for when it's acting up - I cannot walk either.

But when my PD meds are working, and this back pain is under control, I can do about anything. You wouldn't know I hhad PD if the dyskinesia was not present .

jcireon - your reply came in just when I pushed "send." You sound like you need to get to a neurosurgeon right away. Did you know that when you have a herniatioooon such as what I had (and possibly you, too) that a fall could result in paralysis? Please don't wait!
