Loading ...I have severe lower lumbar DDD with facet arthropathy. I agree with you on fusion. He was referring to hip replacement and not sure what Ortho was going to do about the back, he didn’t know if anything could be done. In fact I was thinking maybe there’s some restructuring of something they could do with my hip instead of replacing it lol. I’m going to start taking supplements including SNG boron and his wife reminded me of supplements that helped to pain so I can avoid the alternatives. I’ve seen too many times where that leads as they slowly develope tolerance along with the body thinking it no longer needs to make its own pain management, they don’t understand and must be told amongst certain organ damage they take to much they’re gonna stop breathing and gonna die in their sleep. I did take a low dose ibuprofen 200 mg the other day cuz I sprained my foot cuz I bent my knee to get down some stairs that was compensating but only locking in so I could walk cuz CMT causes severe lower leg neuropathy so bad mixture. Only thing left in between is my knees lol
