  2. Frak! 😖 That hurts… 😢

    As I start writing this at the end of May, I am being plagued by my lower back. It's like a nerve is caught in something, or some muscles are upset... My right side of my lower back aches badly, and it spreads out to my right bottocks, and then via de outside of my hip, to the big front muscle in my right upper leg. When it spasms, I lose some control in my right leg, making me stumble (and groan loudly). Some say that it sounds like it's sciatica, which I had to look up, because I didn't really know what it was. And part of it is right to it all, but they say it runs at the back of your leg, while I feel it going around my hip to the front of myl leg. Of course, I have had too many surgeries in that area, and that damned dislocation almost a year ago... So the nerves and muscles may have been damaged in some ways. But, the way they describe the pain, going from the lower back, through the bottocks, and leaving the leg unstable... It's all there!

    Also, don't forget to check the feet of your shower #chair/ #stool occasionally ✌️
