Have your tried acupuncture? It stopped my mother's sciatica in its tracks, instantly, after several unproductive visits to conventional physicians. And my wife had the experience of sinus clearing while actually receiving the acupuncture.

I am 50 also and went through the crying thing in the 90s. Embarrassing when you know the neighbors can hear it. My pain left on its own -- so might yours.

Bear Wash- I hope it does leave like what happened to you. The Doc's say surgery is my only option besides drugs. The success rate stinks with back surgery. I have to apologize for the whining it's hurting bad tonight and I know I won't be able to sleep. Enough said, thanks for listening and understanding, sometimes a man can feel so damn alone with a problem.
