[QUOTE="cja, post: 72047, member: 15116"] I wanted to update this, I hate to see a thread left "open". Someone may have this same scenario in the future and this may help. I began my Physical Therapy a few days ago. The therapist was able to explain in detail as to what has happened, as well as what is happening. In short my disc IS resting on the nerve root between S1 and L5. The tightness and wringing of the towel type pain (I thought this was Facet Joints and lack of lubricant from lowering E2) is from other back muscles compensating for the injury of the disc. While I do have Facet Disease, this is not what is keeping me from bending in certain directions, it is my muscles protecting my back. Bottom Line...my lowering of E2 from 48 to 35 did nothing. Having a higher E2 did not mask the Facet Disease by over lubricating my joints, even though this does seem very plausible to me. My back went into protection mode by turning on optional ways of moving, creating a tightened back muscle system (lack of proper terms). I know everyone pretty much said the same thing, but I am one of those people who search and search and need to rule out everything before accepting the first more common reasoning. A huge character flaw I know :) Thanks Guys! [/QUOTE]
