Hi Sarah, I bought your book a week ago, doing the exercises. I have degenerative disc changes most pronounced at L5/S1 with associated mild retrolisthesis and disc osteophyte complex bulge. Probable flattening of bilateraltraversing S1 nerve root in the lateral recesses. I have been in bed for 11 weeks now, I am fine when I lie down, but in agony down my right leg when I stand or walk. I had stayed in bed with my husband for nearly 2 yrs to keep in company , he has CHF, he recently got a bilateral pacemaker and is now fine. After reading your book I realized I have compressed my spine, I had done pilates & weights in the years before my husband got sick, so I felt I was ok. I am sixty, but a young sixty, I move fine, not very overweight, I am on NSAID 's plus OxyContin plus endone when it's bad, I feel like there's a pinch in my right buttock, I can't roll on the pinch, very tender. I am so over being in pain, I can't see a pain free future at the moment. I cannot bear weight on my lower back any more but it's no longer numb, I am starting to think this is permanent . My question is does anyone not get better? Or is there hope for everyone? Thank you for your time, cheers Terri Jones
