Two herniated discs with nerve impression: L2-L3 and L5-S1.
Weakness in outer left calf, intermittment pain in left SI/glute/adductor and calf, so it really seems like there's some neuropathy. Over the past 20 months pain has varied from unable to walk to not terrible.
I recently - last 30 days - switched chiros. Former chiro performed flexion/distraction on the Cox table, weekly, every week for 4 years.
New chiro is recommending DRX-9000, 24 sessions. It's going to set back my training by 6 months, best case, which bums me out a lot. Pricey as well.
Want to avoid surgery for a number of reaons including another spinal disease that is progressing rapidly. Prognosis for that one is that I won't be able to train in 5 years, probably won't be able to walk in 10 years. I hate to set back my training so much when I have so little time left.
Any opinions?
TIA
