I have cronic back issues and I refuse to have back surgery when my chances of not being able to walk again is 75%. I just have a HUGE issue with that percentage! Any home remedies or other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately my husband suffers bouts of sciatic, and I am still on the hunt for help for him. I can only find solutions that offer very temporary relief, but I wish that there was something I could do to offer more permanent relief.

There are some back stretches that can be done that may relieve some of the pain, but they will not act as a cure.

I have tried about everything for back pain and nothing has seemed to work for be. I think I will have it until I die.

Well Thank you all for trying to help, but I think Ken said it best. Whom ever has back issues will probably suffer until their dying day.

It's time to look at aggressive pain management. With stretching and exercise you risk creating arthritis, which will put more pressure on nerves that are already firing pain messages constantly.

I had a herniated disc when I was 26. I was in the same boat- I was not having surgery.

I went through traction, physical therapy and medicine. Slowly it just got better.

There are stretches you can do to strengthen your back. I would ask your doctor for a sheet of these. I got mine from my doctor.

I have an occasional flare-up these days. I am 35. I'm glad I didn't have the surgery.
