Costly, had it done in the Sports Surgry Clinic in Santry. I've had traction treatment too. Essentially while lying on your back they run a belt round under your arms to hold your upper body in place. Then a winch is attached round your waist and switched on. Each session lasts about an hour. You have a panic button in case the pain gets too much. Had it for six weeks four times a week. Really it's just a form of torture. Took about an hour after each session before I could stand and walk.

bbam wrote: » I suppose alright is subjective. I have back pain across my whole back every day. Stiffness too. Breaks my sleep every night. Motion in my neck is limited to about 70%. I have nerve pain in one arm and numbness in two fingers if I work it much, grape shovel or brush. I get sciatica pain in one leg with numbness in foot and toes. But you know what, none of it will kill me. Slow me down and make me moan And bitch plenty, but won't kill me. So I'm alright.
