Hope you feel better.

My advice is when it hurts the most, drop a heavy weight on your foot and you won’t feel your back pain.

Faulty logic, but it’ll help ease the back pain. 8)

The Sony U 750 coupled with the JVC Interlink have kept me sane the past , two days. I’m getting better now so think I can avoid surgery this time (fingers crossed).

I have been there twice due to problems with my 4th disk but I have avoided surgery (so far). Either through luck or sheer stubbornness. I know it doesn’t help much; but I do wish you all the best!

The last time (1 year ago) I was stuck in bed for 4 days without being able to move anything but my hands. I cannot tell you how much I appreciated my Pocket PC & Bluetooth connection to the cellular for work and my family for the more “practical” issues.

The, non-IT, solution for me has been long walks and “The Healthy Back Book: Simple Exercises for an Active, Pain-Free Back”. The exercises in the book work for -me- but not for everyone. I guess it depends on what your particular problem is.

Take care and get well,
Egil
