Saw the doctor

For the many of you who have shown kind support through my maddening sciatica ordeal, I just want you to know I saw my GP today. He took blood and an x-ray, gave me a toradol (?) shot and some pain meds. Still hurts, but not as much. BP was through the roof, but he said that was likely due to pain. Best thing might have been my O2 sat was 99 percent. Also, blood shows I don't have diabetes. I thought I might, just because my diet is not that great and so many people I know have it. Now for the results of the x-ray and see if we can get at the root of the problem.
