Breaking the cycle of pain DDD

[Guest guest]

Having dealt with DDD many years, with an overlying compromise of

fibromyalgia I've learned a little.

With bad discs they hurt, the muscles tighten, and spasm....

squeezing the discs tighter, making them hurt worse, then the muscles

get even tighter, on and on.

I have found that a " burst " of prednisone, like pred pack, along with

or either by theirselves a strong injection of pain medicine, " break

the cycle " for me.

It doesnt bring freedom from pain, but eases things mightily until

the next flare up.

The flare ups, it seems as I grow older they come more often and are

a lot more intense.

Maybe there is no " silver bullett " to make all of us " pain free " I

cannot recall what that was like anyways.... how would I know?

Ideas, suggestions, alternatives, they work for some to bring a lil

comfort.

Feeling a little better here, wishing the same for you.
