I do a lot of my lower back/feet exercises in the hot tub. And it makes them easier.

IF the doc and PT guys actually worked on the whole spine not just one area at a time it would be better for me. But they don’t. Mine is spread from C4-7, 2 T’s and L4-5 and now going into the SA joint. So when they work on one area, they inflame the other areas. Nor do they take into account the Fibromyalgia.

I am one of those who cannot tolerate a lot of medications because of their extreme side effects. Never heard of Gabapentin. Mostly I use 8 hr Tylenol and a 5 mg of Valium to lower the pain level when it gets bad, when it gets real bad I reach for the Loretabs and the anti-puke med, can’t take one with out the other.
