Hi River! Sorry your in pain, ya I know it and I am still trying to forget it. As strange as this may sound? I slept for almost seven months like I was sitting in a chair with my back on the floor and my calves on the couch.

The only way I could get enough relief from the pain to fall asleep. herniated L-5 disc, intensive physical therapy during the 7 months seems to have helped. No surgery and no real problems since.

Felt like I had been stabbed, from the top of my butt to my left ankle.
