I'm pleased to report things have improved.....MRI showed 2 herniated discs and mild spine deterioration. I've been getting stretched out at my chiropractor and also got a series of steriod shots.....one of which must have hit the right spot......i literally pissed myself as I was grunting in pain. I've been able to return to the gym recently, albeit in a much smaller scale, and have much less pain. Hope everyone is doing well. Life is good.
