    • Close Chronic Pain

      I suffer from degenerative disc disease. I recently underwent lumber fusion on four of my vertabraes.

      Treatments

      Chiropractic Adjustment Working / Worked
      it would work for about two weeks and then I'd have to go back and get adjusted
      Flexeril Working / Worked
      it worked, but it's a drug and I prefer to not use drugs.
      Heat Somewhat Helpful
      Mobic Working / Worked
      I liked this stuff even though it is a drug. I did not notice any side effects.
      Naproxen Somewhat Helpful
      Physical Therapy Not Working
      I seemed to "take out my back" the harder I tried.
      Spinal Fusion Working / Worked
      It's only been one month but I am in little to no pain for the first time in about 10 years. I feel great!
