Claire I know the pain you are dealing with. Some yrs back I herniated both L-4 & 5. Have never had the surgery they wanted me to have and learned to rely on the back brace they put me in. It is a God send. Wore it all the time except nights for a couple of yrs or more. Now, only when I am doing work that I know will set my back to hurting and if I have to go on an extended drive. Heat also helps. Will be praying for you.
My heart goes out to you Claire. No pain like back pain. I pray that you can be relieved very soon. The Tens machine sounds like a good investment from the comments of the Cuties below. Love Chris
had the same- no pain quite like it( even childbirth)ended up having and operation which was magic- had other discs go since and also use a tens machine they are great- saw a report that the more expensive ones are really no better than the others-really hope you get some relief soon.
My Hubby has this also he suffers a lot. Hope you feel better soon
We can understand back pain, both my dh and me. I hope things get better for you soon. Surely, don't worry about the links. Take care-Toogie
Claire, I am so sorry to hear this. That is a very painful condition. I will pray for your healing and guidance toward a solution.
sorry to hear this - it must be VERY painful - be kind to yourself- hope it improves over time.
Yes , I had this condition many years ago and it is terrific. Hang in there. I spent many weeks in bed and i have no idea of the treatment today.
So sorry to hear of your health issues. Praying for healing and comfort.
Take care of yourself.....prayers that the pain subsides and you have healing! Tonya
Rest, obey the doctor, and we'll look forward to your return.
So sorry to hear this, Claire.....does it involve the sciatic nerve? I had a herniation between L4 and L5 years ago and I bought myself a portable Tens machine upon a recommendation by cutie shozo and it was a life saver......I use it all the time and it has kept me mobile.....I will pray that this passes quickly for you!!
Sorry to hear, Claire...hope you .have a swift and complete recovery.
