Hi guys. My first time in a forum. I am a retired paramedic on disability for ruptured discs in my spine.
when I recover, I will start enjoying retirement.
I have lots of advice on how to deal with back pain without depending on medication.
well that is my introduction.
stop by and say hi.

Hi Sprky, welcome to our forum. I think you'll enjoy it here.

What do you do for back pain? Herbs? Reiki? Massage? exercises? I'm always interested in alternative health remedies.

Hi Sprky ,

Good to have you here. I too have ruptured discs in my lower back, had 3 lots of cortisone injections over the years and one surgery..the first 2 cortisone injections about 3 years apart worked,but since then nothing else has given any relief. Some days I can barely stand due to the excruciating pain , but most days altho' the pain is omnipresent , as long as I stay moving and upright, I can cope , I'm a swift and fast walker, when I'm not in too much pain and hate the days when I walk like a hundred year old.. I continued working until I took early retirement 2 summers ago...never been on disability

Most nights the pain is so bad I have to use a hot water pad for an hour every morning to ease up the muscles and relieve the pain...

Welcome, Sprky. I am also a retired health care provider with painful issues, and I don't take pain meds either. There are countless other ways to deal with pain without impairing my brain, bricking my belly, or risking opioid dependency. Bleh!
