Advanced degenerative disk disease | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 15515993 United States 05/09/2012 02:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | unless you can go somewhere for stem cell injections, you will more then likely need surgery and have the disc rehabilitated. Usually they use tissue from a cadaver. to prolong this you can find a chiropractor that has a device that can do light traction to relieve the pressure on the disc, but there is nothing out that can regenerate a degenerated disc. |

And of course exercises and things to help relieve the pain. Physical therapy has helped me and people I know with DDD. But also sometimes you just need some painkillers and it really sucks that doctors seem to be afraid to prescribe them. Not everyone is a pillhead but doctors seem so hesitant to prescribe anything for genuine severe pain. |

You should consider the doctors are just bilking the insurance at your expense. The dentist puts in the metal fillings fortified with mercury. This often causes migraine headaches. Neither the dentist or doctor will ever admit it is these metal fillings. If you have this, you just need to have them removed. Pain meds until then |

I wish you the best of luck. I've been taking it for 2 1/2 weeks myself. I was waking up with pain in my sternum every morning and it would last for about 2 hours. Since starting the serrapeptase I either wake up with very little pain that goes away pretty quckly or no pain at all. I'm only been taking 3 a day of the 80,000 IU, but I'm going to increase the dosage as soon as I order some more. This is a good article to read about serrapeptase and other systemic enzymes written by an MD. [link to www.newswithviews.com] |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 25596439 Canada 11/10/2012 03:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have adv degenorative disease in my tailbone (epic center) and back vertibra areas i was told there's nothing that can really be done for pain wise but to mask it with medical products. Unfortunetly due to its location and its progressivness there is no remedy to fix it as the back muscles are also facing problems scaring and tearing to compinsating for the back and spending part time in a wheelchair is an option till evenually it becomes full time. Being 33 years old and living with a back thats in its 60's isnt pleasent at all i can barly get enough sleep and sleep sitting in an upright position sometimes helps take the pain down. Unfortunitly there is no easy street to take to compinsate this in my situation no operations can be done its to high risk of losing my legs completly. I do walk alot but it will still progress as this is a cycle that happens to elders in there later years but for some developes earlier. In my case i will eventually have to compinsate life with a wheelchair i have about 7years left on my back before everything has enough so best is to monitor it with your doctor and adjust your life stlyes as best you can. Just use the pain medication sparingly you dont want to get to adjusted to it make it less effective so sometimes its pain time and trust me i feel for you as sometime i dont want to feel at all i know what its like. I have to except it and let nature run its course. Best of luck with it and no your not alone. |

drhoecker User ID: 19191405 United States 11/10/2012 03:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Does anyone else have this? I was diagnosed last month with degeneration in my cervical spine. They never checked the rest of my back. No MRI or anything. Today i'm having severe nerve pain above my lumbar. The doctor gave me flexerial and told me to take tylonal for pain. Quoting: Sako I cant move with out crying. So found some lortab 10s laying around the home and popping a few beers with it. Why are doctors so crappy. So if you have this as well what are some good back and ab exercises to add to my routine? I dont plan on exercising today. Not until the pinched nerve pain goes away. Any other natural ways to heal this? I've took 3 HOT showers and had the heat pad on the area. I dont understand why he did not xray the rest of my spine or look further into it. I told him the pain radiates from my neck, shoulders and middle spine most days. Or and he gave me diflonimac. All these seem to be like placebos or something. Not that I am addicted to pills. Id just rather not take something that does not work and add to the toxicity in my body. I was wondering what some good herbs for pain and muscles might be. Tried and true. marijuana, and i have ddd as well but they wont go further so you dont file ss |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 11211450 United States 11/10/2012 04:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | bone degeneration is due to the body's taking of the bone minerals to neutralize the acids that have built up in the body - this causes osteoporosis and degenerative spinal problems....there are books on the acid / alkaline diet, that urges you to eat more foods that act to alkalinize your body (fruits / veggies), and less protein-rich foods such as meat / carbs / dairy products / beer / sodas, etc....just go and research the subject, and on e-bay plenty of books on the acid / alkaline balance of your body. you have too much acid build-up in your body from overeating acid-causing foods ! simple as that.......your condition will improve once you go to the alkaline-choice of foods...... |
