Oh, Oak, I'm so sorry to read about your troubles! My husband had 2 herniated discs a few months back, and for days he was flat on his back. He had jumped down from the rig and that was it-he was in so much pain he had to leave work. (That NEVER happens!) after spending 3 days completely on his back, he was able to move around a little but he couldn't drive, so he had to be driven into the city to see the doctor. Finally they prescribed PT and we have one around the block-she's fabulous. All the electrical stimulation, manual stuff,it did take some times but now he's back to work and doing well.

I hope your recovery comes soon for you. I'm glad you changed things up when it wasn't working. It's all about what's right for you and facilitates healing.
