Just an update since the last time we talked. I spent three 1-hour acupuncture with some chinese herbs at a local Chinese treatment center in Houston. I spent $420 out of pocket since my medical insurance doesn't cover it. This has helped somewhat and has allowed me completed my field work in the field in NT Australia. On the way back the States, I spent a week in Da Nang Viet Nam visited family and friends. I ended up with seven 1-hour sections /treatment (both chan cuu and suction cups. I was so amaze 95%-99% my tingling/burning pain went away. I'm back the State now and with help of the herb I have been taking for the last two weeks, I hope to walk with pain free soon.,thought I should share so others can experience. Good luck. I’m back.

Thanks for sharing. The Back2Life machine helps David, but it's most helpful when he's in a lot of pain and needs assistance with very gentle stretching. I've heard good things about the anti gravity machines. I'm so glad it's helping you! That’s great advice! Thanks for sharing.

I have purchased the back2life machine and been trying it for over a month now, it helps but not as much as I expected. Recently, one of my co-worker gave me some tips to try the gravity machine. I found one at the ACADEMY over the past weekend for $129.00 + taxes. It took a while to assemble the machine and a little assistant from my Son to adjust the correct height and weight (by the way, the machince can handle max 250lbs). I have used it just three times so far (about 5 to 7 minutes each time) and I can feel the big different. It basically helps decompressed the lower back spine that locked together and pushed agaist the nerves that bother my left leg and thigh. I would recommend trying the machine withe empty stomach and take it slow, follow instruction in the manual. BTY, I walked over 10 minutes today to the food court in the mall for lunch, that's is incredible! Give it a try to see if it works for you. Don't give up. I'm still working on mine. Good luck.

Were you able to locate it? Also, David might want to consider beginners yoga...maybe that would help? When I was doing it, I felt so much better and had less aches and pains. Also, in my class was a man that had had several back surgeries so the instructor just always gave a modified, low impact pose. We also had couples in our class, various skill levels, and people of all ages-- very unintimidating and comfortable. I have only ever gotten BioFreeze at the chiropractor.

Ask your chiropractor is he or she has any samples or if they can't get you any. The cheapest place we found it is online. Go to amazon.com and look for Biofreeze. I always divide the price by the number of ounces to make sure I'm getting the best deal. They have so many different size bottles and stuff. The roll on stuff is really nice because then you don't get your hands all full of gunk and then rub your eye or something. (Oh yes, I've done that!). We also use ice instead of heat for the inflamation. Godo luck! Hey Ashley,
