@mjp0512 Thank you for your response. My PCP did blood work when I went in complaining about it and both my kidneys and liver tested good. He also did an ex-ray of my back and pelvic area and that came back showing mild Lumbar disk degeneration, and mild spondylosis and facet arthrosis which he says could be causing the pains.

Yea, I have a blown disc @ L4-L5 confirmed by MRI and a metastatic lesion on L5 confirmed by PSMA PET. Back pain is part of daily life although I have no idea which issue is causing it. RO says he can zap the lesion but he's not a neurosurgeon and can't do anything about the disc. Certainly not signing up for back surgery at this point. C'est la vie. Getting old is not for sissys. Keep up the fight. We got this. 👍👍👍
