There was not a morning without back pain. I had Degenerative Disc Disease at L5-S1 with leg pain and numbness due to nerve involvement. I was unable to walk any kind of distance. The mall, market or a walk in the park wasn't in my daily plan. I tried physical therapy and pain medication.. I told my doctor that I had had it and something had to be done and surgery was not a option.
After treating with the DRX, I now can get up in the morning without thinking about how to get out of bed. I went to Morro Bay and walked on the beach for hours.
You are the GREATEST, everyone treats you like family. I will miss you!
