off to see the incredible Dr Bertagnoli I pray he can work his God given skills on my lower back. Been in pain way to long n can't stand it. I plan on trying to make a documentary if all goes well. I can't believe how many people suffer in pain in the USA especially.

Sept.1 2015
Well life was over as I knew it, as back pain due to injury kept me chair or bed bound. I didn't want to live anymore ! But I loved my wife and my 4 children so much I had to create a fix. I searched the web day n night for a month and chanced upon adrsupport.com where a good man named Richard offered to help guide me. I also learned of doctors who perform artificial disc replacements. My L4-L5 disc was herniated and bulging into my spinal cord, my L5-S1 was more herniated and it was pushing my sciatic nerve into a "U" shape where it exited the neural foramin of that joint. The pain was more than I could bear. The local medical community could do nothing for me, they said you have to live with it ! My pain Doctor was giving me medicine to help but all it did was alleviate a small bit, no one told me to loose weight.
I happened upon a few doctors in Europe who perform artificial disc replacements and have a good track record as they have been doing it since the 80s. The USA didn't follow until around 2002. When I graduated in 1982 I went to A&P school, which is basically an air plane mechanic.i left that trade after a year because the didn't maintain their fleets legally. I vowed to never fly ! My wife is from Holland and I frightened her so much with my stories she hasn't flown since. I tell you this because my pain was so bad I was willing to fly. Then I started to search USA doctors. I emailed a few one night around 3 am and was amazed to get a reply from a doctor at Yale University at 3:45am. We exchanged emails and basically he said loose weight quit smoking and mail me you MRI. I started dieting immediately. I lost 36 pounds my first month. I did this by eating as little as I possible could but being a Coca Cola addict didn't help.
