The back pain guy...update

[Kyle_in_Tex]

My back's been killing me too. Yes, I'm about 20lbs overweight. I see many more folks that have a bigger weight problem than I. How do they do it?
I've had pain for over 30 years now(since I was 16). I've learned not to lean over to bathe the dog or roof the house etc...

There are some great strides being made in the spinal medicine field. I'm however a bit shy to get mine done. They can go in thru your stomach side and do some major surgery using tubes and long tools. This keeps the doc from having to cut thru your vital muscles around your spine and allows much faster healing.

Seems like they might have a handle on some on back pain; At least some better ways to operate.

There is a lot of new science going on at all fronts. However my son became a diabetic
at 9 years old. I remember the doctors saying there are good things happping toward cure. My son made it till he died of complications of diabetes at 28 years old. That's over 10 years ago and still no cures. Seems to be same with all kinds of medicine. What's right around the corner is into the next generation in most cases. In any event, we always have faith and hope. That's what keeps us going.
