Hi Goth,
While I have not seen anyone yet at the Spine Clinic, the doctor recommended rest, not to do anything that will aggrevate my back (sitting in a chair, standing in one sport for over 20 seconds, etc.) . I will have to wait and see, as when the pain subsides, I will head to the pool, and swim 2 hours/day. I also want to take yoga and acupuncture, although I am not insured so I do not know if I can afford it.
Wellness at Seven Oaks has a therapy pool. Easy to get into, warmer water than a regular pool. (ramps, railings etc) Just letting you know.

toban71- The doctor told you to do nothing- why don't you listen to him? Swimmimg, yoga etc is not doing nothing.
I hope that you do some research, because there are non invasive procedures today to tackle the spine.
I have had 2 operations where they put me to sleep, and did a very small cut in my back and lasered some bone to relieve the pressure. Dr. Google, told me that in the US they did some of the lasering with a local anasthetic, and in and out in 1 hour, and all for $28,000 U.S.- on special of course! lol

The disc looks pretty much like mine. Naproxen for inflammation and about 6 months of physiotherapy may help reduce the pain. This is not something that goes away, and many people live with it.

I have lived with the pain since I was 17, so that should not be a big deal.

fair enough.
I found something that helps. I have been lying on the hardwood floor when it's time to sleep. This has done wonders, as when i wake up, I am not stiff and in excruciating pain.

Many husbands refer to their wives as being "pains" of some sort. It's a common joke between men, just like women have inside jokes about their husbands.

Are you saying that you sleep on the hard floor, or just lay there for a while before getting into bed?

If a mattress is too soft and does not support the spine it can aggravate back problems substantially. A firm mattress can help. Also putting a pillow or roll between the knees when on your side, or under the knees when you lay on your back often reduces pain for sleeping.

Thoought we were discussing toban's back problems.
@toban, what about one of those memory foam mattress pads. I, too, like a hard mattress, and those things are great.

I've heard those sleep number beds are pretty good. Has anyone tried one?
