Default minimal compression wedges.

anybody else had one? have had some annoying pain in my lower back, so went to the doc finally...took some x ray's...and showed a minimal compression wedge at t-12....so went on to get MRI...which showed absolutely nothing wrong in the lower back...and i think she said a little bulge in the disc between t-12 and t-11.

so for now i've got tramadol...which is nice. but i can't get back in to see the doc until tuesday, he's thinking possibly cortizone injections for pain until it heals. which takes like six weeks.

i have a fairly physical job....do lots of lifting and walking and whatnot. since they can't really do anything for this...i wonder if i should just not work until after i talk to doc on tuesday....or...work..and deal with the pain

i'm just really cautious.....as...it's my back...and i only get one.

the pain i'm getting right now if i don't take the tramadol is semi sharp pains around t-12...and some tingling in my left upper back.

what would you guys do ?
