I am not supposed to be able to do any work, get out of bed, or even walk according to the MDs who see my MRI and xrays-----when they ask how I do it, I just say " I do not listen to MDs!"
Bromelain, magnesium, chiropractor,therapy, and acupuncture...an exercise ball is really important to sit on.
I cannot take pain meds. My body does not tolerate them.
