Ping CatNipped, re. back trouble
Hi CN. I sent this to you privately yesterday, but am posting too in
case it didn't turn up. SO sorry to learn this. Major purrs from my 3 boys that the pain isn't too great. Empathy from me: I lost disc L3/4 in 1982 and L4/5 in 1984 in necessary removal operations. Plus a scar tissue etc. cleanup in 1989. 1982's op was very successful, 1984's only partially, and 1989's no use whatsover: since then I've been on NSIAD's (Ibuprofen to Meloxicam (Mobic) then to Celebrex, soon obviously off Celebrex and elsewhere. I certainly notice the difference if I have a few days "off" medication, so I don't very often. Recently I've begun to notice improved mobility in my spine, leading to freer walking, through taking Glucosamine (pharmaceutical grade) with added Chondroitin (marine not bovine) 400/100mg respectively per tablet obtained via www.healthspan.co.uk at around USD38 for 360 tablets (you take 3 a day) delivered USAside. I'm sure with your own researches you could find a competitive source. If not, these folk might be worth a try. BTW I take them in addition to the NSIAD's without apparent ill effect. Re. your other queries, I find that the harder I exercise the better the injured area feels, and in general so do I, and annual physiotherapy to reinforce my flexibility, generally most needed in January when we're usually at max 5 C (41F) and sopping wet weather-wise here in Cornwall, is highly beneficial. As I say to my physio "I come in like Quasimodo & leave like George Sanders" which she's too young to understand but maybe your grandparents can give you the references :-). Hope this helps. Empathetic purrs & best wishes Gordon & the TT ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "CatNipped" wrote Anyone else out there dealing with a similar back problem? Has physical therapy / exercise and anti-inflammatories helped at all? |

Sorry, I didn't see your email - sometimes I get too enthusiastic when deleting the appx. 200 - 300 SPAMs a day (the woes of being a web master for numerous sites where my email is scooped up by web-bots). Thanks, I used to take Glucosamine but quit because it was just so darned expensive ($40 for 180 taking 3/day). I'll look into that site - it's a good price. Thanks again! Hugs, CatNipped |
