hi bizi
i sent you a postcard with all this yesterday, but i'll post it here too.
traction isn't something that ortho surgeons mention often. they want to do surgery to fix everything. that may not be the only answer.
when i injured my back, we were given all the horror stories.
releaving the pressure was my saving grace. then getting the muscles in shape to keep my back stable. i have always had pain, but i kept everything inline and not progressing, until a few years ago.
since she has compression..it makes sense to releave the compression and take the pressure off.
traction takes time. in this hurry hurry fix me fast world, i think it gets put on the back burner.
i just got an update from your mom. i'm sending prayers.
pm me anytime. i never post too much about my back.
