Yellow,
Did try that route for like 3-4 months, as well as physical therapy..
There was some relief, and I was getting better.. But something happened like two weeks ago (unsure) and some nerves got pinched.. Now I have endless spasms, and had some pain down my leg.. which is not a good sign as that probably indicates Cyatic (sp) nerve pinch.. Problem is that there is damage or trauma in different spots along the L, S and T reginion..
My wife has the same thougths about holding out.. I have heard mixed results.. Like I mentioned I will talk to some highly specialized people at the Hospital for Joint Disease Institute or something..

and see what they say..
If no surgury options arise I will definitely explore those, as well as the less intrusive surgical options.. Any recommendations welcome..
I just want to play with my BUG

but for now I will just wait and see..
Thanks
Alex
