Doctor Borodin advises.....Big 5-0 next year. My back feels it, the rest of me is in an excess induced coma and thus blissfully unaware of its real age.
I have spent the best part of thirty years (and a small fortune on chiropractors and physiotherapists) being treated for three diagnosed herniated discs, only to discover earlier this year that I have non malignant but inoperable tarlov cysts on the base of my spinal column putting extremely painful pressure on the nerves. No other back problems at all....Grrrrrr !!
I strongly recommend anyone suffering painful back symptoms to insist on having an MRI scan of that area as apparently my condition is regularly misdiagnosed as the well known 'slipped disc'.
On that happy note I shall take this opportunity to say I sincerely hope you enjoy the last months of your 40's and embrace your 50's with welcoming arms.
