I'm glad you got some (re-)confirmation. I'm still rooting for your recovery!

Have you tried going to a chiropractor hun?

I know a lot of people do not believe in them, but i cannot tell you how many times I have herniated a disk before. That dull throbbing pain when you are holding still, then that sudden jolt that shoots through your body almost causing you to spasm.

Seriously look into going to a chiropractor they are absolute miracle workers with slipped discs, herniated discs, dislocated ribs and dislocated vertebrae.
300 dollars worth of visits to a chiropractor is much much cheater then a 3000 dollar MRI and surgery on top of that.

Since i think it's a chiropractor's work about 9 months ago that brought this problem back in the first place, i think I'll pass. I've tried two different ones, and they've done nothing but make me hurt more, subsiding back down to normal after a day or so. I do not trust them anymore. I'll stick with people who have gone through real medical school.

I'm here for you if you need anything. My phone's always on for you, and the door's always open. Just don't slip that disk while walking in through the doorway, please? D:


... although, maybe that will slip it back into place.....

I wish it was just 'slipped.' unfortunately, herniated means ruptured, destroyed, etc. It will probably never heal. All i can do nonsurgically is to try to move the rupture to somewhere that doesn't cause symptoms

Bleh... hope they can get this fixed so you can be better again! :/

Hope everything gose well for you.

Good luck dude *hugs*
