"Back" into life without surgery!

Hi Alan:

That is an interesting theory of your brother's--I'm sure there's some truth to it. In my case, I spend a LOT of time stretching and doing deep core strengthening exercises, too. Otherwise, I don't think I would have made such improvement. I wouldn't say I'm completely healed--yet; just much more "back" into being able to participate in activities without unbearable pain. I don't know what your situation is, but I hope you are doing great. Thanks for your message!

Hi M:

I think I got it wrong as there's not always a distinct correlation b/w crummy MRIs and incapcitation e.g. I am active but limited. Also, my bro is making a huge generalization as there are many heterogenous back problems.

But the main point is that you are doing well - and that's w/counts. You reminded me: to get busy re-doing the core exercises!

Be well, Allan
