Hi Bram,

Gosh I am so sorry about what you’ve been going through but glad that you are making some progress for the better! If you have herniated a disc, that can be SO VERY PAINFUL and take quite a while to heal, and sometimes may never fully without additional help or procedures. Dealing with your spine is precarious at best. PLEASE remember that you are dealing with an extension of your brain. Look for someone to help you with your spine no differently than you would shop for a brain surgeon… please. I have had spinal issues since I was about 12. I get nervous making recommendations not fully knowing what’s wrong, but here goes… if you can lie on your back and pull your knees to your chest this will help open the vertebrae up and relieve any compression (hopefully). Also, if you have a yoga ball, bounce on that. This will help bring blood into the disc. Zook also gave some good tips.

By the way, If you have severe pain running down the sciatica in your leg, get this checked out immediately Bram. If you have incontinence, again, get to the doc like yesterday. Back pain can be excruciating. I am so sorry hon. I hope you continue to improve!!

Ps.. Kim… you CRACK ME UP (exercise)!! Lol Hi Zook!
