Have to jump in here! Maybe stretching etc helps with "some" folks but I'd have to say in my instance...I couldn't walk when my disc ruptured, at least w/o help. The pain was way beyond anything I'd ever experienced (I've had other issues where pain was a factor so believe me this was bad). None of the drugs worked...only when the morphine pump began prior to the surgery did there come relief! BUT the real relief was waking up and not having anymore pain! That was over a year and a half ago and it's been wonderful since!!!
