I hope your hubby takes it easy and gets better quickly without surgery. He sounds like my hub: every Saturday/Sunday night he can barely move from doing yardwork and other chores that "have to get done." I tell him to take care of himself, but he always pushes through the pain.

Yah, make sure you go with him, else you may be the one doing the heavy lifting. That's way bad that he's got back issues, and I hope they can be resolved without surgery. But, I have some friends who got big time relief with surgery. It's just such a sensitive place. big hugs to you both, doug

Deby...all I can say is, "ouch!" Nothing hurts like back pain. There's no relief no matter how you sit or stand, it seems. I hope they can get him better soon. Hugs, Lisa

oh how horrible! I am so fortunate to have never had back pain save for the fractured scapula that was near my spine, and that was horrible. I hope that he will listen and take care of himself! How are you doing Ms. Deby??

Umm, Deb, I don't like the sound of this. I had bone spurs on my spine when I had my first back surgery. A back brace is not the way to go, you are right he would just keep doing what he has been doing!! Man he has to be so miserable. Hope the PT works. He will have to strengthen the back muscles to hold the spine straight. It never worked for me, but I am dirt, and he is spring!! Tell him I am sorry he is so miserable. Hugs Sandy
