I was just wondering if anyone out there has tried any alternative methods of stress management. (yoga, meditation...ect) I am interested in giving it a try, but I have no idea how or where to start.

Yoga-try finding a class at a park district or gym. Or buy a mat and an instructional video-that's what I did.
Meditation-also classes or read up at the library-I went to the library.

    I have my maxed amount of epidural shots of my cervical DDD....(and no one cares about my lumbar DDD)..... I've done physical therapy, muscle relaxers, Amitriptyline, Nortryptiline, desipramine.....narcotics... So I decided to go to a spine specialist and they have me on Gabapentin. Its been two weeks and it did nothing for my lumbar ever... but it did seem to help my cervical and arm/hand pain...
