However I will still go because I will try anything at this point to reduce symptoms even by a little bit. My spine has several herniated and degenerative discs. Have had multiple back surgeries and the PN started after my last one. Maybe strengthening my "core" will alleviate some of the pressure on the discs but I assume the damage has been done on my nerves and the parasthesia is permanent. I've been having a really tough time dealing with symptoms lately. I hope all of you are doing well and enjoying your holiday.

go to a good Chiropractor. I went to PT and they sent me home after two weeks. I was losing muscle mass in spite of the PT. I cannot shout from the rooftops about any healing from the Chiro but his rehab trained massage therapist wife helped me through a tough time. They were sympathetic and caring and sometimes that is enough to help. They also introduced me to another way to choose and cook food. Good Luck, Ken in Texas.
