Before you let whoever say it needs surgery I'd get a big Second opinion on the surgery deal.

LSI of FLorida is the best.

i hate the fact that they are always so quick to go with the surgery option when you have so much other stuff to try first. good for you ma'am, get all other options off the table first

i agree with you competely smaw... conventional medicine IMO is controlled by big pharma... put everyone on meds, cut em open so they have to be on meds, keep them under our power, and they will be fat cats for life!!

another doc i saw yesterday offers such an interesting procedure.. he thinks it will be extremely beneficial in addition to the deep tissue laser therapy..

its called stretching under sedation... the premise is that they manipulate the spine the same way you would have done at a chiro, but the sedation offers them the ability to be more aggressive since they dont have the same resistance from the patient as if they were awake.. i have been reading up on it and it has an 85% success rate.. this particular doc works with a very high % of bb'ers and is one himself.. this makes a huge difference, i feel, bcuz he does it and he gets it..

most md's just want to write the scrip..

i like it very much. i had a similar procedure of being placed in traction 3x a wk after a bad blast caused me to have compressed verts. hurt real bad but after that and thearpy i was back and kicking at about 90%. man i wish they would have sedated my big butt. that stuff hurt

 

[mrsr05]

glad to hear you had such a great success rate smaw!! sorry you werent sedated i am actually looking forward to the mini vacay!!! hahahahaaa

 

[mrsr05]

omg i have not been here in waaaaay too long... severe depression has set in and i had definitely gotten to the point that i gave up completely..my back is still in bad shape and my training is obsolete.. i even had to cut back on training my clients because it was just making my back so much worse.. i actually had to get a desk job UGH to balance out the loss of income...

this completely sucks....

arent i a ray of friggin sunshine... sorry friends....

on the flip side i hope you are all doing well and lifting like freaks!!
