Wondering who has a problem with this? The spaces too close together, pressing on nerves when there is inflammation.

Did treatment reverse the condition?
Thanks for responses.

Be VERY wary of Orthoducks. They LOVE steroids & generally know little if anything about how they effect Lymies.

But not actually disagnosed.

Exrays with the chiro last year said verterbra too close togther, and have curvature that isn't sciloiosi like I was told years before. I have lumbar curve too, where my stomach will be forward a bit, and the curve at low back.

I understand what you are saying about epidural. Has your chiro recommended any exercises or physical therapy to help elongate the spine and correct the curve?

There are some options I would look at before even considering a spinal fusion. I also have a friend going to Dr. Hauser for prolotherapy and will let you know how it goes. Prolotherapy can be very effective.

Also, I just saw your question about hydration. If you don't mind responding to that post.

Yucca plant is supposed to be a natural anti-inflammatory.

Also, MSM crystals 1000mg twice a day in addition to Vitamin C for inflammation etc. Some that I know have benefitted from it. You may want to check it out.

Peace and Blessings,
Maggie
