Well, today I didn't eat any tomatoes or potatoes. I did have sweet potatoes but they're not in the nightshade family. The pain is still with me, but maybe not as bad. If you only knew how much I love tomatoes, any kind of tomato products. That is definitely the hardest food for me to give up. A Lenten sacrifice for sure!
If I can prove that the nightshade foods really help to eliminate arthritis pain, I will be happy to tell it to the world. That doesn't mean I have to give this stuff up for all eternity...lol, only long enough to feel less pain. Indulging in it occasionally might be tolerable.
About the MRI -- it's history. Will know the results in two days. That's it for today.
Update: the MRI revealed I have a few back issues in different locations. Lower back - stenosis and herniated disc,
mid back - herniated disc. Went to see a surgeon, his recommendation was PT. My daughter gave me a program to do which I will be doing probably for the rest of my life.
About the nightshade thing, I didn't try eliminating it for long enough. But I stopped. That's all.
