Back trouble

[charlie_the_tuna]

went to a pain management guy. got shots in the lower spinal area. 3 or 4 treatments. helped. did not cure it. shots sometimes last a half a year if you're lucky. what you have there is a 2 year healing process. PT didn't help. slept on a rolled up towel and elevated my legs at night. just have to take it easy and give it plenty of time. tons of naproxen and a good back brace and just lots of time. if there was a secret i'd tell you but man oh man...... never went back to the doctor that told me it was a 2 year injury. should have but I needed an instant fix. time, time and more time. only thing that'll help. it got better over time but it took the full 2 years to get me to 100%. now i'm back in the gym and stronger than ever!! just take it easy and don't do anything to upset it. my wife had to put on and tie my boots every morning for over a year. drove her mad.
