Back Got Back

It's been over two months since I injured my back. It turns out, I have a herniated or slipped disc that makes my list to the right and pinches my sciatic nerve. I've been doing physical therapy which helps with pain management, but I haven't actually healed yet. After a long week which included a trip to Las Vegas, my back is tweaked again leaving to another day of working from home. My boss loves this - 3 pregnant managers, one who is about to give birth any second and one with reoccurring back problems. Lucky guy. :)

Best of luck with the pain. I have had herniated disk pain: NO FUN. I always suggest that if it gets to the point where surgery is a serious option please consider acupuncture along with physical therapy first. It may sound silly at first but I speak from experience. It helped my herniated neck disk. At the risk of sounding like a spammer also consider a pillow I invented that alleviates my disk problem when the pain reappears. The SquidFace & ComfyRest pillows. Lying on my back or facedown it corrects the herniation and alleviates the pain. It helps people with back pain also. It is strange but it works wonders. Good luck, Bob www.SquidFace.com
