Yes, I am 64 and was walking 2-1/2 miles a day and had lost 16 lbs.

After walking was getting out of the tub, was putting on lotion and the pain hit (I went to the floor and had to sit for 1/2 hr. before I could get up).

This was on Oct. 26th. I could not even turn over in the bed without screaming.

Turns out that mere motion caused a Protruding Disc and it was compressing the Sciatic nerve (excrutiating pan).

After 2 months of steroids, muscle relaxers, pain killers, and a Epidural of steroids directly into the back I am now better.

It does not take much.

GO GET IT CHECKED OUT by a Doc.
