I AM NOT A DR. - MY COMMENTS ARE ONLY MY OPINION.
CONSULT YOUR DR. on ANY Medical Questions, Proceedures, Etc.

My dear Wife has TBI - Traumatic Brain Injury.
I have Fibro, Chronic Pain, DDD, Osteoarthritis, Spondylolisthesis, Sciatica, A plate in my shoulder, a plate in my foot and every disk in my Lumbar is herniated on both sides so I can relate to your pain. God Bless us ALL !

As for me. Chronic Pain. Meds from Pain CLinic. Fibromyalgia. Sciatica. All Disks in Lumbar are Herniated on BOTH Sides. Osteoarthrits. Degenerative Disk Disease. Plate in Shoulder (shattered in car accident). Plate in foot (fouled surgery by dopey Dr). Two reconstructed shoulders, and a GREAT outlook on life.

Oh, I've got a pretty cool cane too.

I'm glad that someone is trying to make such a difference in means of prevention. It means a lot to myself to know that someone is trying to prevent the things that we as a group independently had to go through.
