Spinal Problems, any advice?

I have an MRI booked for Tuesday to check my lower back and right hip. The glow/klow first cut inflammation and may still be doing so but now the pain shoots from the hip joint and no longer responds to pain pills or muscle relaxers. Hopefully they find the cause and plan soon.

Lower back pain is rough enough and adding hip pain makes walking difficult with a limp. For my own hip and knee osteoarthritis I have used two milligrams of tb/bpc each day which did not heal the joints but reduced pain and inflammation noticeably. I still need a new hip. I do not know your age or exact hip issue whether it is arthritis impingement or a pinched nerve. For my back I rely on regular inversion table sessions for decompression and you might test one in a store first since they often allow trial use for several days. You do not have to invert completely and results may appear the next morning rather than immediately.

Thanks for the reply. The mechanical issue cannot be fixed by any medication peptide or supplement. I regret not buying an inversion table when I was close to it. Surgery cannot be avoided. We face two choices now: operate soon which requires major rehabilitation but will eventually create new problems or delay and remain in pain. As she ages the procedure will only become harder so we are choosing the lesser of the two difficulties even though it may involve two or three separate operations.

Wishing you a positive result there buddy

Thank you. Sorry to hear about your mother and I hope things improve. You are right that fusion tends to create further issues down the line yet sometimes it cannot be avoided.

Thanks. My mother is doing well and stable for about a year now. I live with her to help her stay out of a nursing home. She is in her early eighties but remains mentally sharp. The relative who had the neck fusion at C5-C7 woke up with ninety percent of the stenosis symptoms gone and is doing fine. She is almost sixty and the hope is the repair lasts until retirement. I work standing on concrete all day looking down which is the worst setup for the back so I wanted another option before considering surgery myself.

I hope the prp helps you. You could also look into ozone therapy which worked very well for me and for others including my mother when she had neck herniations that resolved after several sessions.

Really hoping your dad comes out okay on the other side. Thanks so much!
