Patti and Jack we miss you both so much on YT. Patti I know how much pain you are in as I have two herniated disks in my lower back (L4&L5). It took me a long, long time to get better (that was over 10 years ago) and just recently the pain is getting better (last two years since I found Pilates and Yoga). But even after all the exercise if I overdo it I still feel it. It never goes away - just try to find a way to manage it.
I pray that you don't have to have surgery but sometimes that is the end result. How many times a week are you going for physical therapy? They had me in traction, ultra sound and deep tissue massage plus tons of at-home exercises. Ultra sound and deep tissue seemed to be the two that worked best for me.
