@heyjoe415 Thank Joe. This has been going on for a number of years. Rehab Drs have said surgery is not an option for me with osteo and being a DES Daughter. Physican therapy, pain meds and now my new recliner - from Relax the Back - had helped soooo much. Do not need my canes like I was relying on. I use ice.. so helpful. I have had a back week of night pain. I use Ralph's secret sauce to help with the pain.

Being a DES Daughter has been rough my entire life..especially the past couple of years.

Hi Dallas,

Well I'm glad you've been able to reduce reliance on a cane. And icing really works wonders. Too many people choose heat because it feels good immediately. Ice is an acquired taste. But heat draws in blood, white blood cells, and inflammation - increasing pain ultimately.

What does DES stand for?

All the best, friend.

Joe
