Here we go again!

So, apparently I'm not healed yet. On Thursday I started getting a weird tingling feeling in my back, just to the left of where my injury was. Any time I get any sort of weird feeling back there I freak out. So I called the nurse on Friday, and she told me to: (1) take 600 mg ibuprofen 3x a day (hoping it was some sort of swelling issue); (2) call Urgent Care if it got worse; and (3) follow up on Monday. All weekend I faithfully took the Motrin, though it upset my stomach even when I took it with food (yuck), and it didn't really help. So I went to the doc's office today and met with the nurse practitioner, and she said it's almost certainly related to my back injury. So I'm off for an MRI on Friday, and another appt with my spinal specialist ASAP, which means October. Fun, fun.
