Update: Bulging Discs?

A quick update: I got back my lumbar spine MRI today and things looked generally OK (no weird unexplained growths or anything terrible!). There are some protruding/bulging discs that might be hitting nerves, though, and my primary care provider has asked the Spine Center at Mayo to review my file, and consider seeing me. I don't really know much about the timeline for this, but hopefully, I'll know more soon. In terms of my actual pain, yesterday was tough (walking around Mayo hurt), and today's much better.  If it ends up being bulging discs, this would be awesome (well, not exactly "awesome", but definitely on the better end of things).  

Update (6/16): It sounds like I'm going to get an epidural injection to L5-S1, and then see the Spine Clinic in a month. Hopefully, this works!
