My Back
My back has been "killing" me lately. I went to a hospital and was there for four hours and got no help. More recently I've been trying a chiropractor which has been helping a little. As they don't sell Ibuprofen over the counter here, I've been trying to suffer through with a Tylenol-like drug which is pretty ineffective. The cause, is Spina Bifoda Occulta, a birth defect in my lower spine, a very mild case of scoliosis in my lower back, as well as some severely compressed vertebrae in my neck (two partially fused). The x-rays were quite revealing. So, I'll spend all my chiropractor insurance money and if that doesn't work will go back to an orthopedic doctor. You can pray that I can sleep and keep up with what needs done! Thanks!

You'll be in my thoughts, Val, nothing is worse than back pain! Perhaps when you make it to the states you could see someone here? I have an aunt that had minor surgery that helped SO much!
