Only if it gets real bad, but for me I would look into adding chiropractic treatment and massage therapy and inversion

Thanks man, but I did it....I know. Someone was not paying attention and hit me at about 45.....broke 3 vert and damaged 2 disks.....I'm very happy that was all that happened in the situation we where in. It could have been much worse and definetly changed my life.

Yeah did massage and then adjustment for a while. Like 3 days a week PT for another 2.

Massage therapy is not as awesome as you might think if your muscles are locked like rocks.

A lot of the time it's just the therapist. For me I went to a sport medicine chiropractor in the area, little did I know she also runs in house masseuse as well that knew. First I would hit the hot tub to loosen the muscles, then I would hit the masseuse. Day or so later the chiropractor.....helped me a lot in those years, cost me a lot also in that career...

I don't see surgery as good. Shots not good also. Not for me.

I exploded a disk and couldn't walk so surgery was my only option. I was eating percoset like candy and it did nothing. I would roll out of the bed and crawl to the couch. My daughter would bring me food. Dr. said 2 hrs for surgery, 4 hrs later he finished. I walked out of the hospital after a day. I've had shots 3 times, one time it made a difference. My spinal cord was pink from a piece of disk rubbing on it. I have permanent nerve damage, mostly in my right leg, my calf atrophied and the bottoms of my feet are mostly numb. I do what I can do now even if I have to rest after 15 minutes.

That sucks raratt. How long ago was that?

I have two ruptured disks......I was told I was to young for surgery at the time. This was going on https://www.cdc.gov/hai/outbreaks/meningitis.html so shots where not something I wanted. I was prescribed so many different pain meds and muscle relaxers it was disgusting. They helped with the initial pain but I wanted to get away from them as fast as I could......I know I mentioned about close friends od deaths........this was right around that time also.

1999, once I had surgery I quit the meds, and being in the military at the time their answer is 800 mg motren and flexeril, neither of which helps. It kept me from going to the desert one last time, I didn't think I could drag the chemgear so I didn't go.
