Did they do an MRI? I went back the next day because my big toe and top of my foot had turned a light purple/blue color.

Doc did some nerve tests and sent me off for an MRI. Determined my problem is located at L5 in my spine based on the MRI and nerve tests. Not the worst scenario but not the best, either.

I didn't realize how serious this stuff can be. Important to stay on top of it or risk some serious life complications. Hope she continues to feel better.
