After almost two years of herniated disc problems, I can now go for a walk for 1/2 hour without any pain, I LOVE IT.
I'm very grateful I had access to an OP (got my first MRI and they looked at it and did the OP on the same day), 2 x rehabilitation and ongoing physiotherapy.
The OP and outpatient reha had no out of pocket cost for me and the inpatient reha and physiotherapy were/are affordable.
Also, please do something for your core muscles, you do NOT want herniated discs!!

I can't believe such a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment has been unavailable for so long, and it seems like it is technically possible to get hold of the stuff (this site lists it https://www.creative-enzymes.com/similar/chymopapain_135.html but not for personal medical use?)... feels like a bloody conspiracy to be honest!
This study was undertaken to assess the long term outcome on the quality of life of patients with sciatica following treatment with chemonucleolysis, and to assess the complications.This is a retrospective review carried out in a consecutive group of ...
That awkward moment when you're trying to gradually return to work because your #chronicpain is slowly improving & your doctor says "There is no way I am sending you back to work now. Take four more weeks of medical leave and then we'll reassess."
Then that awkward internalized moment of simultaneous relief & guilt that the #capitalist ethic imposes even while your hand use is so limited.
