back problems

[Salty]

I have 4 herniated discs in my lumbar along with arthritis, bone spurs and sciatica. I was told that the only thing that would help would be to put a steel rod through all my vertebra and cage each disc, individually. This procedure was not recommended, however, by my surgeon. He told me that I would lose all mobility in my back and that, without the shock absorbers (discs), the next thing to go would be my knees. I am currently going to a chiropractor twice a week. The disc decompression table has really helped the sciatic nerve problem tremendously. Good luck bro...I know what you're dealing with. PM if I can help.

This is the best surgeon in southeast Louisiana...if you're interested.

Don't know this doc, but I would trust Salty on this 100%.

Dammit lost my train of thought (percocet daily). The above web site has a ton of info on it.
The chripractor helped me immensley for a while, but eventually it did not help.
