I know what you're going through. I've had three back operations, titanium instruments (go figure), prosthetic DIAM all at from L3-S1, all of them compromised. This past January I had all of it removed. Nothing.. Go to Egoscue.com, click the link for back pain. It changed my life. Give me a buzz and I'll tell you all about it. Bottom line is that posture is EVERYTHING. Take care and keep building those beautiful frames!!! Ciao brother! darren Crisp Titanium Hey Carl,

I have known your pain and I can sympathize. If you need any reccomendations or refs to competant Orthopedists, Chiropracters, etc. Let me know. I use a chiropracter that specializes in the Blair Method (Axis and Atlas exclusive) and have found the results more than helpful. IMHO - Adjustments at the site (chiropractic) tend to do more to aid to rather than alleviate the discomfort. Try massage to the affected muscle groups (Hamstrings, Hips, Shoulders and Neck) and alternating Hot/Cold at the site. Start a regiment of Ibuprofren, it will take a full 5 days for the Anti-Inflamatory bennefits to show up in full force. Other than that, an excercise ball will promote proper form when seated. Lots of stretching using the ball as support can also be helpful. Best of Luck and Don't hesitate to call if you need a competant mechanic to see on this side of the divide. Dr. Michael Woods, at Missoula Bone and Joint is THE MAN. -G Carl –
