Me too. Never knew I had it until it was in my neck. My hip would go out of place from time to time and my thirties and the chiropractic would fix it. I've had m r i's afthe first one, 3 more. I have fusion down the entire left side of my spine. C2-L5. Fortunately I have a great medical team and a doctor who prescribes me what I need. He doesn't mind THC in my blood, which allows me to use c b d and thc as i please. I get great benefit from cbd. I'm prescribed oxycodone, Adderall, tizadine. I also use products from manna.com.

I too have been diagnosed for years 2012 with D.I.S.H. most likely had it many years prior. I’m now disabled after 8 back surgeries. Spine surgeon wants to do more but I’m tired. The way I understand it, dish causes extra bone growth at areas where you have had injury or surgery. Multiple kidney stones to the tune of 34 of them. They say stretching doesn’t make it better, I’ve had over 4 years of physical therapy no help every year there’s more. I’ve been on gabapentin for years and it really does not help no more. At least I can walk again.
