Well darn! Gary had a back pain/weakness episode this morning - but not nearly as bad as before. He has muscle relaxants to take and he took one right after it happened, and no more today (knock on wood). He also now knows EXACTLY what forward bending movement triggers it. He said an episode started yesterday as he began to lean forward, but he straightened up right away, and it stopped. I guess he wasn't as quick thinking today. LOL!

So, whatever it is, it is mechanical. I talked with an orthopedic nurse who seems to think the problem can be solved with physical therapy. Did I tell you Gary hates physical therapy!!! Actually, he has gotten lazy since he's been sick and doesn't like to do a lot of physical activity - which he NEEDS to do - but doesn't like to. The physical therapy (if that's what he has to do) will be good for him. He needs to get more exercise anyway! LOL!

Anyway, I think he has enough muscle relaxers to make it to his appointment with the doctor. Oh my, it's always something!
