Back issues... ANyone here have experience with herniated disk?

[2manymustangs]

My wife had a career-ending injury as she was lifting a very large patient from one bed to another that brought her all the way to neurosurgery. The surgery helped for about 11 months then the symptoms returned at an excruciating level so she went to a chiropractor to see if she could find relief. They set her up with spinal decompression which progressively relieved the pains caused by the injury until she was eventually pain-free. We went on a ten mile bike ride yesterday AM and she came home and finished up a work cover to be shipped to Tennessee bent over a sewing machine for a couple hours with no issues whatsoever. She now swears by it and every couple years or so, she'll have a bit of discomfort and we'll set her up for another round of six which provides a couple years more relief. It may be worth a try. My wife swears by it.

I will take that under advisement, at this point a 10 mile bike ride would do me in for several days... I just had new x-rays on my hips (two hours ago), in 2 1/2 yrs Im now bone on bone... The ortho surgeon is not worried about the back issue and wants to do my hips ASAP... My shock absorbers for my lower back are elGONEo amigo... :(

Hey B that's sounds good always up for a Marri's pizza.im pretty much pain free these days.i had the lamenectomy/microdiscetomy procedure.i would do anything to prevent surgery.look into physical therapy with traction type program to open up the spine to help decompress the disc.

I am game for this. When are you going to be in town???

I fly in Friday of next week... I should be available most of the week if you are going to be in the Lakewood area through the week amigo...
