Mama has torn her L5/SI1 and has a protrusion in her L4/5, according to her doctor and the MRI.
She even got a lift in her right shoe because that leg is shorter.
She'll be on a course of steroids and might have a spinal injection in a few weeks. And she has PT.
Let's just hope she doesn't become allergic to NSAIDs, too!
We didn't realize that, along with women synching up* their menstrual cycles, it can happen with musco-skeletal issues too!
The kids think it's funny that their moms are now like twins, too.
*It's an urban myth and such synchronicity really only works in large populations of women living closely together--prisons, the army, convents, sororities--not every lesbian couple.
Never mind about menstrual cycle synchronisation which can be explained how about fathers getting labour pains. There are more things going on inthis world than we realise, let alone understand. One of my grandmothers was one of 9 girls, no one ever mentioned the subject to me, not even as a whisper. It will be interesting to watch how your daughter grows, check her legs every 6 months---perhaps not--no point in giving her something to bother about.
