I was reminded of this http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/28/health/28spine.html when I read about Yvsa's back troubles. Hope it gives some some ideas. Al

Thanks for thinking about me Al but that's not my trouble, almost wish it was as I'd give it a try! 
My trouble right now is that my L-5 to S-1 disc is completely blown with bone rubbing on bone.
If I'm only slightly active it hurts like hell and if I'm only a little more active the pain is damned near unbearable, a level 9 starting to a level 10 and level 10 pain is the abolute worst pain you have ever felt.
Level 10 is completely debilitating and I just don't let myself get to that point, ever!
I seldom let myself get to even a level 7 so that means lately I don't do much of anything except move around our very small house.
I go from the couch to the restroom, to the computer in the corner of our living room to the table to eat and so forth.
I seldom even go outside unless I have a Dr's appointment.
I go to see my neurosurgeon the 6th of next month and hopefully someting can be done soon after, that is if I don't have to lose some more weight first.
I've been watching what I eat the last couple of weeks and am holding at 282, down from 297 pounds.:thumbup:
