ok, anyone who does not take an active interest in helping themselves become more self reliant needs to know what it is like to be bedriden for a week at the age of 40 after blowing out 3 discs. had it not been for MY determination to heal, seek rehabilitation and put in 150% work towards walking and return to weight lifting i would be a flabby middle aged man who would be afraid to pick up his 2 1/2 yr.old grandson.
my suggestion to anyone who has a problem, know matter what it is, fight it till the end! more likely than not, you will succede to a higher degree than to rely on just pain meds. and wishful thinking.
thank you

Absolutely correct. I have the smae experience with back and shoulder injuries. Do your own research, find exercises and stretches that will help you, and then do them [b]RELIGIOUSLY[/b]!

Just don’t give up, or expect the doctor to have the answer.
