They offered me surgery but didn't recommend it because of my age and you are younger then me. I am against the surgery and will only have it if it is the choice between that and a wheelchair. I have a total of 9 discs that are shot. The doctors said I have the back of a 90 year old. I have been through everything except for surgery. The only thing that has helped me is an inversion table. It has brought me back to almost a full life. If you can get a doctor to say you need the table, worker's comp will have to pay for it.
I forgot to add that once you have any type of fusion surgery, you can no longer use an inversion table. Try out one of the tables before you have anything major done to your back.

I was diagnoed w/ Deg. Disk Disorder about 7 years ago and i'm 35 now. At the time, the Dr's were kind of shocked and said too that i had the back of a 90 year old. I have some scoliosis as well. I'm in pretty good shape but still am bother by my back almost constantly. I basically don't disks in my lower back (the lowest 3). I was told too that surgery is not an option right now. I was told that there was nothing to do but live w/ it.
Can you give me some details of the inversion table?
