Good info from all of you. Sounds like we've been chewed up by the same things over time.
I've had traction to stretch my spine and physical therapy and it looks like I'll try that route again. I guess I just need to develop a program and stick with it. Forever

You know, I wasn't this broken when I was in Iraq a few years ago running around with SAPIs, weapon, combat load and getting shot at. I used to be in good fighting shape. Now since I got this desk job I've gone to $hit; fifteen pounds heavier, two shoulder operations, back pain galore. I need to go to Afghanistan and so I can get better.

I can't stress enough how the decompression therapy has helped...I HIGHLY recommend you look into it.

I have an inversion table, but it seemed to give me back pain. I think you have to use it on a regular basis before you see good results.

I would just use it off and on and now I don't even use it at all.

Weird but there'a a back relief ad banner right under this thread right now. I was going to suggest a thing called Trueback. Type it in your search thing. I have one and don't use it much but when I do..it works... I mean it. I have had back and neck problems for years and go to a chiropractic regularly. Trueback...it looks like the devise in that banner I'm looking at right now...watch it go away as soon as I hit send and you all will think I'm crazy...

The best therapy I ever received for my bad lower back was while I was in the Air Force and it came in the form of Lt Fox. And, boy, did she ever have the right name. She was adorable! And she used to get up on the table to straddle me to do some of the massage moves.

Didn't help my back any but did wonders for my morale!!!

I knew a friend that spoke to the Uncle of a farmer that lived beside this guy named Charlie. Apparently, Charlie made a suit out of magnets so that his entire body was encased in magnets. Charlie gave the suit to his dying great grandfather, and 6 weeks later, his grandfather was as spunky as a teenager on steroids. His great grandfather is 128 years old now, and rides a Sportster. I think magnets really do work!

I've had good luck with an inversion table. It's helped my low back and my knees.
