Based on my experience

Yes, Mark has been great!
I guess after a few failed stories about Regan and his bad rating on all the rate md sites, I fear him, but all the doctors that are alternatives, trained under Regan, so yes, that does say...

I do try, but am so depressed lately, that I don't get out. And now, I think more walking and stretching is going to make the disc subside even more. Does that make sense? So, I just lay in bed... on...

Sitting issues
May I ask why you have sitting pain? I am always so fascinated how the low spine makes it so only a small percentage of people affected with spinal issues have this sitting pain. Thanks!
