I was in a car accident when I was 11 and seems I have a curvature of the lower spine, told to me by a chiropractor when my back went out majorly in the first year of lugging around my large baby boy. Over the years I have waited out each episode with heat and stretches and nothing seems to stop it from happening if I just step wrong or reach wrong. Aggrivating and disabling. The VA scanned me to see if my fosamax had worked and the attendant asked me to lay straight on the table, I told her this was as straight as I could and she said I must have scoliosis, confirmed to me this last year. I am very low income and cannot afford to buy books especially if I am not sure it would work in my case so I appreciate being considered.

Jesse – I cannot say I deserve your book more than the others, but here is my story, although I’m sure it’s too long to tell, but I will try to summarize it in this blog. I have had seven (7) back surgeries, (laminectomy, two fusions, two surgeries for removal of CSF sacs, removal of hardware/rods, and re-fusing the spine again, and in constant pain for 19 years, plus many treatments, from spinal epidural injections, steroid injections, acupunture, physical therapy, acquatic therapy, to name a few, and more pain medications that I cannot even list anymore. I have read your blogs from various people with various conditions, and they all seem to like what you have to offer, so I am at my witts end and willing to read and/or try anything. If your book will give me some information on how to deal with this Nerve Pain, that believe me is debilitating, I am all over it! I also have Fibromyalgia, Diabetes, and recently my pain doctor said I have Arachnoiditis, which is inflammation of the nervous system, so I need some help Jesse! I am afraid I will be in a wheelchair before long, and I do not want that to happen as I am still mobile, although limited on some of my activities. I also have CSF fluid sacs lying on the L4/L5 vertebraes, and 5-6 cysts lying on or around my S1 nerve root, so the left extremeties are in constant pain! I am definitely in need of some intervention, as the physicians I’ve seen here have no answers to help me. In fact, the majority of the back specialists that I’ve seen here in Washington state won’t even meet with me, or even if they do, I am told abruptly, “there’s nothing they can do, since the doctors in CA messed me up”, so I’m told I can leave now, while I’m crying and begging them to help me! If you think Jesse I am a willing candidate to help, I am all eyes and ears!
