Hi Linda. My wife and I were on vacation back in 1986 and she laid on a chaise lounge at a resort and couldn't get up half an hour later due to pain in the back. On arrival home and seeing a specialist at the hospital on the way home from the airport it was found that she had 2 ruptured , protruding discs affecting the nerves. The doctor said a simple task such as bending over to tie shoes could let a weak disc bulge out and cause problems. A second opinion by noted author and back specialist Hamilton Hall confirmed the same story and diagnosed. Most people think of ruptured or slipped discs as they are mistakenly called are from some trauma but it is posible it was caused by something simple. Some of your symptoms could be left over from that. Hang in there. They'll get to the bottom of it sooner or later. AL.
