Hi, really sorry to hear about all the
pain you are having. There's an easy
solution, no drugs, no side effects, just
a little bit of pain to start with (but
you've got your pain already, so you won't
even notice that one) and in a few minutes
all the pain will be gone.
Please try my favourite Acupressure mat
(or Tibetan Applicator) - cheap but
extremely effective.
By the way Schwarzenegger’s mother and
many other millions forgot of their pains
with this device.
All the best.

Any MDs or Orthpedics out that who can
confirm whether this treatment really
works for bulging dics and stenosis? At
$100 a treatment, I need to find out more.
Thanks.

I am not an MD or Orthopedic i am just
interested in what kind of Decompression
Therapy you are being offered is it some
kind of traction?

This is not traction. It is a machine
that you are placed in to decompress the
spine (cervical and lumbar). Supposedly
it will prevent someone from needing
surgery. From the research I did on the
internet is works for bulging disks,
stenosis and some other issues that I do
not recall at the moment. Google "spinal
decompression" and you will find a lot of
info on it. You can also check out a
company call SpineMed, apparently they are
the leader in the industry and have the
best machine. Apparently there are some
knock offs and doctors are using them
claiming it is decompression when it is
really just traction and then charging the
fee for decompression. The Dr. in San
Francisco that warned me about this
recommended that I find a doctor that has
the Spine Med equipment. Only one Dr. in
Las Vegas, Nevada has it. You may have
better luck in your area.

Maybe he's wondering if it's live chat.
It isn't...it's a forum chat, but either
way, everyone just tries to help each
other out the best they can

There are many of these types of devices
no matter how fancy the tables look, or
how many flashing lights are on the
console, they are still just traction, i
have seen many of these over the years,
they all claim they have some new or
unique feature that gives them some type
of special healing power.

That is unfortunate. I will continue to
research this. My best bet is to ask a
doctor that is not using the machine, ie
an orthopedic. If the dr. has the
machine, they are going to upsell it. If
I find out anything worthwhile, I will
post it. Thanks.

Hello Frankie,
I do not know of a back pain chat room,
though most likely there are some.
I'm with Mominashoe regarding "what is
this?" - This Back Pain Forum is just
that, a forum. A place where people can
communicate in writing regarding their
concerns experiences and thoughts, and
often, in some detail.
A chat room, often called a "live chat
room" is where people can communicate much
as one would communicate in talking with
others. A rapid back and forth form of
communication.
Well, that at least is how I view the too
forms of communication.

Hello Sonia,
For me at least, exercise does help my
back.
HOWEVER, Sonia, it should be done under
the advice and guidance of a spinal
specialist (neurologist/spinal surgeon).
I get very concerned about yoga, because
some of the exercises may/can make things
much worse.
Proceed with proper medical advice.
Number 1 rule - if the exercise hurts -
STOP doing it!!!

Sick of pain-pills

ive been on pain management for about two
years. I get morphene and hydrocodone
pescribed. Im no walking zombie and live
a pretty normal life. Happy marriage and
a little precious girl. I had a head
fracture several years ago hence the back
problems. Now though im starting to worry
about long term health effects as i do
drink. Not loads but about on average two
glases of red wine pd. Lately also ive
noticed that when i do not take anything
to sleep which i dont normally do i get
these leg-spasms. Its like a jerking, as
if falling whilst dreaming and it keeps me
awake most of the night. Its been going
on for about 3 weeks. I would really
appreciate someones opinion, my hubby whom
i love very much just thinks im a
pill-popper so no answers from him. Feel
so lonely about this. I dont want to end
up a life-long pill-junky

Only thing that ever worked for me in the
past was Accupuncture. Going back for
treatment and getting of pain-killers,
half way there...yippeah.

Bubblycat, do you take enough Magnesium?
Muscle spasms/cramps may also be from not
enough Magnesium, & if you take a lot
of pills the body needs more Magnesium to
detox. So Google up for food with a lot of
Mg, or consider a supplement-? lots of Mg
is in leafy green vegetables, for
example...
Are you doing any core-strengthening
exercises? This might help with back
problems too...
Sonia_X,
My parents both have had back problems,
& back/core-strengthening exercises
& walks & changed (healthier)
nutrition DID help!! (Plus, Mom lost some
weight & 'cellulite' & as a result
they both looked better!!) They still do
them, every day!!
I know that the exercises & walks have
helped me BIG TIME too, & I am still
doing them but am currently also still
researching which ones would be best for
me...
Yoga has helped me in the past, but it'd
also be good to know which specific
exercises are best, if the problems are
more than just small...
When I had more backache, I sometimes
couldn't sleep because of pain, IF I
DIDN'T GO FOR A WALK THAT DAY!! So, Yeah,
it's important!!
