catch up on thread still working

yes, back issues. Herniations, fractures in vertebra, osteoporosis, arthritis and very advanced scoliosis. a healthy spine should be straight up and down . Mine in lumbar region takes a 120 degree shift. The Xrays and MRI pretty well show the issues.

surgeon says they cannot surgically correct the scoliosis but could do work on herniations. There would be no improvement in pain. I take a lot of Excedrins(generic) daily and CBD tincture. AT PT via hospital and via my chiropractor I go on a decompression apparatus. The goal of that is to relieve pain. So far this is via the pain management team at the hospital

I can halrdly walk 30 feet without severe pain and they still havent determined why I have shortness of breath. It is pretty profound

I know there are several folk on the train here that have back issues. Treatments vary and results vary. We dont always get answers from the medical professionals

This is the pix I found in google search that looks closest to my situationut the angle is more profound on me than this pix.
