Slipped disc

[Sensei Tom O'Brien]

I was flat on my back for the last couple of weeks. Had to close my dojo - broke my heart. What can I do for a slipped disc & arthritis in my spinal canal? My spinal cord is pinched and I have pain shooting down the back of both legs. I am going to physical therapy but it is going to take time.

Thanks,
Tom

You are closoing temporarily or permanantly? Is there anyone to run things temporarily for you? How long has your Dojo been open for?

I am hoping to re-open in September. I am going to physical therapy & doing exercises for my back. I am starting to feel a little better. I actually mowed the lawn and did some sheet-rock work this past week. Like Arnold says 'I'll be back'.

Thanks,
Tom

I know 2 MDs and a Chiropractor that if they knew I gave that advice they would do exactly this :jaw-dropping:

I was in my early 20s and of course I know more than any MD. I slipped disks the first time and herniated them around the 3rd and/or 4th time and after the 4th time I got a nice ambulance ride and I ended up in the hospital for a week and out of work for about 6 months. It ended my TKD training and my career as an auto mechanic.

Take it slow and you will recover fine

Tom,

I hope you're feeling better. I sent you a PM regarding a treatment option in New York.

Best,

Steve
