My sac joints fused now.....lot of pain. Docs want me on TNF a drugs which is self injecting. I think the medical authorities would have me grounded using this gear.

Steroid injections into lower spine plus use of Celebrex is my chosen path. All other movements re neck use etc no probs. plus loads of walking cycling, hill climbing give me great relief plus a hot water bottle on my lower back ever nite.
