Then I spoke to my Neuro's office, and he told me that 'torn muscle pain doesn't move' and sent me for an after hours full-spine MRI last night. He thought that an ultrasound may not show it and I would be none the wiser. If the spinal MRI shows nothing, then it probably is muscular, so I should get the ultrasound scan then.

I don't have a result, but I am so sick of this - and so darned tired. I haven't walked without pain (or at a minimum on good days, discomfort) since January.

I am working full time as a teacher and on my feet all the time!!! I can't believe how tired I am getting.

Sorry, my turn for a whine and cheese party. Would anyone like to join me? I still don't know what to blame it on, and it is doing my head in.
