Aw darlin' it is a tough go for you...
I have a herniated disc, but I have
learned how to spare it... It has not
bothered me in years...

I can only suggest (if you are able)
to lay flat on your aching back and
with your hands and arms draw your
knees as close to your chest as possible
Ice helps every 20 minutes to reduce the
swelling (do not use heat!, it causes it
to swell more)

I don't know your sleeping habits, but
try to lie on your side in the fetal
position with a pillow placed between
your knees and your back to the wall
if your bed is next to one with a pillow
behind it...
I hope this helps darlin'

Love and Light
Lily

Yes, exercise is the only solution of any value. You might try changing your bed. A too soft bed can give you a terrible back ache.

Keep Walking, Bro. And get a dog to walk with you. Dogs are the best walking partners a man could ever have.

I have to agree with Jerry. You need to talk with a lawyer about SSDI. You have a legitimate problem and I'm sure you'll be approved. Look into it, Ed. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Have faith and God bless.
