How are you doing today, Patti star13?
Thinking of you.

Have you tried applying cold packs to your back? For even 5-10 mins at a time? Alternating on & off, on & off.
I hope so.
While it's no 'cure' for herniated disc, it can sometimes diminish the anguishing pain for a time, e.g. sometimes up to 30-60 mins at a time, while the fresh-oxygenated blood returns to the area.

I hope that you have gotten some relief by now with your back. I know how stop-your-daily-life painful it can be. I've been 'nursing' my own back over the weekend.

Take care, Patti star. Keep posted, or PM me if you prefer.
It would just be good to know how you're doing this week.

Sincerely,
Theta
