HEY who is old??? I have only been 50 for 3 weeks! Yeah lots of arthritis in hip, but the discs are really bad! Dr wants me stay on pain meds, I chose NO...so it will be fun til they do the surgery...NOT...still plan on doing water walking daily and the stability ball work out...
I had the surgery on two herniated discs. It is THE BEST thing I ever had medically! Instant relief from horrible pain... Watch those pain meds--they can be very dangerous. Best of luck to you!
