That is great Mel, about the PSA levels coming down.

The back? Well, if it is not progressing, then I wouldn't do anything. I am very conservative that way.

I went to a pain conference yesterday, and the speakers were all in agreement about another spine problem, called Arnold Chiari malformation. They said that the increase in surgical fixes for this congenital malformation lead to increased pain and headache for many of the patients. The doctors yesterday said that they felt this procedure was not necessary in many of the patients that undergo it. (ie. rush to surgery does not always fix things).
