Pain in The Butt Forces Free Interview

I’m in Austin, Texas this week to attend a wed­ding — con­grat­u­la­tions to Heather and Bran­don! — and a week­long, pri­vate sem­i­nar with my mas­ter­mind group. But while I’m here, I’ve got some good news and some bad news…

The bad news — for me, not you — is that, a week before leav­ing, I suf­fered a sacroil­iac joint injury. It was likely caused by my bad pos­ture related to my exist­ing her­ni­ated discs, which as a result is caus­ing ago­niz­ing sci­at­ica.

For the first three days, I was com­pletely immo­bile. It took me an hour just to get out of bed! Any slight move­ment would cre­ate shoot­ing pains in my lower back, par­tic­u­larly in my but­tocks, and would go down my leg with aches and a “pins and nee­dles” feeling.

It’s excru­ci­at­ing. In fact, I almost backed out of the Austin trip. But being able to regain some mobil­ity, I took a chance at the last minute. Luck­ily, the air­line pro­vided me with a wheel­chair. Cur­rently, I’m walk­ing with two canes and a back brace.

Now, the good news…

As a result, I haven’t posted any­thing new in a while. But I do have a treat…

Just before my injury, I had the plea­sure of being inter­viewed by SEO expert David Jenyns. David wanted to add it as a bonus to his prod­uct, “The SEO Method.”

I just got an email from David who said he decided to make the inter­view avail­able for free because it was so good. That means you can go and down­load the MP3 right now, and lis­ten to the entire, one-​​hour, unabridged record­ing. No optins or strings attached!

Until I get back to the office and back on my feet (lit­er­ally), with David’s gra­cious per­mis­sion I’m post­ing the link here for you. Go down­load the free inter­view here. Enjoy!

UPDATE: Sacroil­iac joint dys­func­tion is hard to diag­nose. It was a guess based on all my symp­toms. Proper diag­no­sis requires sev­eral tests, includ­ing flu­o­ro­scopic x-​​ray guided injec­tions, which I was booked to have upon my return to Canada.

Oth­er­wise, if it isn’t, the sci­at­ica may be caused by — and it’s the most com­mon cause of sci­at­ica — a pinched nerve and ongo­ing nerve com­pres­sion caused by her­ni­ated discs.

Well, after attend­ing the wed­ding last week­end, I was I utter agony.

Even my wife told me I looked “olive green.” So I decided to see a doc­tor near my hotel. He did a bunch of tests and finally con­firmed — it’s not sacroil­iac joint inflam­ma­tion but sci­at­ica caused by both her­ni­ated discs and degen­er­a­tive disc disease.
