Chronic Health Conditions Discussion and Support

if you have a bulging/slipped disk, look into the mckenzie method, which consists of exercises, posture changes and nighttime back support. There is good information online (this is good for back and neck pain). I found some relief from this, but eventually had surgery to scrape off arthritic bone that was compressing the nerve. This was after two different types of PT and everything else under the sun. Everyone was treating me for disk issues, but that was not the correct diagnosis in my case. My surgery was minimally invasive and the recovery was no big deal. I will have nerve issues for the rest of my life, but can live with that level of pain.
