herniated or bulging discs...........

[smokeonthewater]

I have had back problems for 15+ years....
Untreated because frankly I'm terrified to let ANYONE mess with my spine!

I believe what I have it herniated discs but I'm not certain.... In addition I fell on a boat ramp two years ago and hurt my neck bad, again, untreated....

Can't ride motorcycle more than 20 minutes now without taking a large dose of Advil and still excruciating.

Bought an inversion table last summer... Used it a few times but I found that upon turning back upright at first it was 30 seconds and became 8-10 minutes before I could get off of it...
The pain was almost unimaginable. Really scary..

I don't know exactly what was happening but it felt as if my spinal cord was getting pinched when I started switching back to supporting weight...

I strongly urge you to be careful w an inversion table.... I wouldn't go straight to steep inversion... Maybe start w 15 deg or so for a while and gradually work up.

I know eventually i won't be able to take the pain and will have to seek help but dangit I don't trust doctors.

Hopefully your story will be shorter and happier than mine.
