So smoking is a definate no no... I stopped completely, and now have the occasional smoke if there is something alcoholic around to accompany it :) Yeah my doctor said smoking wasn’t good…. it doesn’t help the circulation of blood near your discs, and it also drys out the discs.. which makes them more prone to cracking (disc herniation)….

I have tried everything and am now trying spinal decompression therapy. I have read great things about it and am looking forward to healing. I will let you know how it works. Good luck to you.

I also have to walk wherever in my special sneakers and put shoes on later. Has your doctor ever made any comment about not smoking as a way of preventing problems? Mine did; I don't smoke tho so I' can't verify Your tips make a lot of sense - I find that just healthy and hydrated healing, plus not rushing yourself too much and asking people for help with your bag or whatever work well.
