That's some impressive weight loss, almost 40 lb in 5 months. Any word on surgery?

Thanks.

No word, MRI Tuesday though. Then back to Dr. Bong-hit for more discussions. My boss tore his meniscus and told me how it went and what to expect if that is indeed what happened.

MRI was done. It was a very long an boring process.

I'm guessing something was up (ie out of the norm) when the tech told me to book a follow up 2 weeks away. From what I understand, the results can take a while to come back. This makes me a bit nervous. I'm a bit of a hypochondriac and had this pang of fear that it was going to be a tumor, I calmed myself down and went about my business.

Now I recall why I don't squat high bar. Severe back pain in left erector. LB and FS for me.

Still wanting to strengthen quads before possible surgery.

SMR glutes, hams and upper back to finish.

Weight 207 at home.
 
Mri came back fine. No tears, some bursitis which would explain a lot. He was perplexed as to the source of the pain compared to where the bursitis is, however. Still meeting with the surgeon as the MRI may have missed something. Worst doctor who is most unprofessional when speaking to patients goes to that guy. I should not be using the terms flexion, extension, Osgood-Schlatters, etc while this douche uses laymen terms.

I love being a Canadian...

But why the fuck is it so hard to have medical issues resolved in this country without embellishing? I have a high threshold for pain, I'm not a whiny pussy; do I need to become one?And why are the doctors in this city (Winnipeg) so terrible? No, I don't want to take fucking medication the rest of my life...stop prescribing me pills and tell what to do. I shouldn't need to book mark the mayo clinic website to find treatment when the doctors radiate ignorance from every pore of their being.

/rant.

Training to hopefully resume soon. I fucked my L5+S1 up and sciatica is a bitch.
 
Looks like your numbers are coming back. And sounds like broadly good news with the MRI. So, good stuff.

Benched with no arch, out of every movement it hurt my back the most. Flat back felt better, but it was really more of a chest press than anything.

Squats went very well. I hope to get some momentum going and get my numbers back up. Slow but steady.

Not sure if I'll be able to deadlift for the forseeable future. Lighter weight and rack pulls are probably in my future due to the disc issue.

Back was giving me tremendous issues at work. Went outside to the stacks of pallets to do reverse hypers numerous time. Probably did 30-50, I did not keep tally. My back felt fucking amazing after.

Reverse hyperextensions are the bees knees.

Fucking dead lifts. I used to love them so...

Welcome back. How are the various injuries? Hopefully you logging again means you're healed.
 
Thanks, boys. Feels good.

DrB; I feel better than I did last year. I hope to start logging on a more regulat basis.
