Bobbi,

Thanks for the input. That is exactly what I do when I absolutely can't stand it anymore. I have a difficult time sittig still and my work doesn't allow for rest time. I travel alot and am in the car for hours a day. This is sometimes very hard and I have, at times, brought my turtle shell (post-op brace) with me to sit in. I have taken muscle relaxers and NSAIDS, but it is like taking Advil. It is completely useless. Tell me more about the facets? I am sure that the pain is nerve and muscle related because when the spasams get worse my hands get numb. I have an appt. with my surgeon on June 1. I was hoping he could give me some shots to help.
