Not that anyone is asking

You are absolutely right! They made me try so many things when I first got sick. 10 years later one of the docs asked me if anyone checked my neck. MRI showed problem in the cervical area, bulging discs and narrowing of the spinal formalin.

I would have shot back "Why have you not been worried about my liver all these years?" It is because you know how bad my injuries are and I need my pain relief to even function. It all makes me so made and my problems are mild compared to what others suffer.

At age 90, you've earned every opinion you have and I respect them as much as I respect you.

But I'd like to give you a little background:

Today, aside from my liver, the health of my organs is excellent for a 70yr-old. Annual chest xrays show that even my lungs are exceptionally good for a long-time smoker.

My liver and spine were seriously damaged when I was in my 30s and fell an estimated 60 to 70 feet off a rocky ridge onto the rocky ground below. On arriving at a hospital I had emergency surgery to repair a lacerated liver and 3 spinal fractures, and probably thanks to growing up on a healthy diet, I recovered quickly. I'd been a smoker for about 10 years at that point.

When I was 50, a routine MRI showed a deformity in a lumbar nerve root that caused me to need a wheelchair. I fought my way back to walking normally less than a year later thanks to lots of specific exercises, a healthy diet, and a healthy metabolic system. I've had two major spine surgeries since, basically to repair old repairs, and always recovered very quickly.

But the deformed nerve root can't be repaired. It's the main source of my current pain, and I'm just going to have to live with it. Pain medication and lots of vitamins and taurine keep me active, and smoking helps immensely with the stress and the lousy mood the pain causes.
