Well I have had it with Pain meds, I am weaning off of them. Also I remember hearing about a tear in one of my discs, does anyone have this problem? I have been using Biofreeze for the pain and it does help. I am seeing a massage therapist who also does accupuncture. Maybe theres some hope coming shortly....

pain for GHD
GHD:
The spinal nerves cannot get relief if they continue to be trapped and crushed between curving vertebrae---short of general anesthesia. Another consideration is that if even you succeed in obliterating all the pain you can still get nerve damage from spinal nerve compression.

Karen, I don't understand your message, which I assume was to me. You spelled my name (Kris) with a CH, so I am not sure you are talking to me. Are you explaining to me why surgery would not be feasible for GH... or what? I'm confused. I would think surgery would relieve the pressure on the nerves, etc. KrisComment
