Can you have a bar fitted between two walls and just so you can grab it when you're on tiptoes. Hanging from this there is no pressure on your spine hence relief. I have had tow discs removed in lower lumbar 4 & 5 in 1983. Then life went on okay after physio and I went back to driving my truck. In 1995 I was diagnosed as having scar tissue growing on the nerve in my spine. My pain is being controlled with morphine and a bucket of other drugs - not just for my back tho.

I have known of people having discs out and not suffering afterwards. It is hopes that your back problem doesn't get worse. Good luck. Ken
