I have suffered meny years with cronick lower back ache. Mey years I was told it was nothing. Till one day I could not get up. I was put on traction, when this made things worse they decided to take a scan. They then realised I had three slipped discks pressing on my leg nervs. I was kept in hospital for two weeks total bed rest and then put into plastercast, for six weeks. When the cast was removed I had 7 spinal injectio ns to desolve the disks. I am glad to say that I no longer have much pain. That is if I listen to my body and rest if I have done too much. However I stil have boul probles but kope with this. They wanted to operate on me but I chose not to go through with it. I wish you a lot of strength.
