Hi and welcome to YT

.

So sorry to hear of your baby's diagnosis...you hate to see these little ones in any pain, it breaks your heart. My Wylie has disc disease too and he has "flares" where it will bother him...when that happens, he is given a pain pill, a steroid, and muscle relaxant for about 7 days...then we stop. Over the last year, he's only had 2 flares total...so we've been lucky. I hope you'll be able to find a regimen that works well!

Btw, going to move your thread to the Sick Forum.
