Update - 

Injury recovery has gone reasonably well this week.  I got an MRI on Monday.  

The MRI shows two key things.  I have disk degeneration (dark color) and also a small bulge in the disk pinching the nerve stem.  The pinching is only on the right side which reflects the pain I feel on only the right side of my body. 

The pain has been reduced to minor hip and hamstring pain.  Its really not bad at all.  I was worried once I finished my cycle of meds the horrible pain I had would return and limit my mobility, but the meds knocked down the inflammation and things feel pretty good.  I do still feel tingling in my foot.

Starting on Nov1 (Thurs) I began walking every morning and doing some PT (stuff I got from the internet).  I went walking 3 miles Thurs/Friday, and 4.5 this morning (Sat).  So far, that has felt great and had no adverse affect on my pain levels throughout the day.  I tried jogging a few steps here and there just to see.   It feels weird, like my leg is not working right.  It also hurts my hip so I immediately stop.

Plan of attack -

Keep walking daily.  Do core strengthening (carefully).  Continue without pain meds. (Currently not taking any).  Ice back to reduce inflammation.  Chiropractor?  Massage?  PT?
