Some answers on my leg numbness (includes a Kelly story)
Finally I talked to the right doctors!!!! (I still can't believe the first doctor wanted me to wait 3-4 months to come back for further testing.) I do have a disk herniation and they are sending me for a spinal MRI to see if there is nerve damage and other stuff. That MRI is Monday, so hopefully there will be some more answers next week. I have been having digestive problems as well and that area of the spine is in charge of that area of the body.
I want to thank you all for encouraging me to seek a second opinion!!!!!!! 
Now for the Kelly story:
(If you didn't see the size of me in my ninth month, be glad. If you don't know: I had a TON of fluid in me. My 11 1/2 pound baby was still swimming around in me the morning I gave birth. He had so much room!)
When I went to see this doctor this week (who did see me just a few days before giving birth) he mentioned he wanted to take x-rays. He mentioned that I might have herniated the disk during pregnancy, but didn't know it. He said that hormones take over and you don't notice as much during pregnancy.  I asked how it can happen.
He then said 'Well, just by the sheer immense size of you during your pregnancy, that could've done it.'  
I shot him a look!!!!
He said 'Come one Kelly. Seriously. You were HUGE!'
Well, I know. But he could've been a bit nicer. W T F?

Re: Some answers on my leg numbness (includes a Kelly story)
i am glad you are hopefully going to get some answers soon!!
i am sure your doctor meant well, probably referring to your excess amniotic fluid and not your ginormous azz (not that you had one!!) but if it were my doc i would have shot him more than a look... maybe a kidney shot?

Well, I am glad you are geting some answers. A disk problem kinda makes sense now that you say it. I guess I can't interest you in suing your brontosaurus for your injuries?

Re: Some answers on my leg numbness (includes a Kelly story)
Your testimony could be interesting:
"Ms. Waterspout, what were you doing on August 17, 2007?"
"Well, I gave birth, but, see there's a Kelly story involved."

All I would have to do is show them my belly pics and no testimony would be needed.
