I have been having muscle spasms severely since I was about 15 years old. I’m now 45 so that is a long time. Most days it feels like all my muscles are going to rip off my body at any moment. I ruptured a disc in my thoracic spine in my mid 30’s. T7, T8. I was told this is not common, but from all my research it is more common than doctors say. My ruptured disc is causing spinal cord compression. I can NOT have surgery because I have some kind of bleeding disorder. No doctor will touch it. To make matters worse I do not have health insurance.

I have been suffering a very long time. It is bad when you wake up and all you think about is the pain. People are talking to you and you are in so much pain you do not even know what is being said.

Three days! it has only been 3 days! and I feel so much better. It was about 3am this morning, when I just kind of felt as if someone was putting a soft cloth over the screaming pain. I’m excited. I may get to enjoy some of my days. I know it has only been three days, but I have never felt this kind of relief. It’s a numbing sensation I guess is the best way to describe how It feels. Best money I have spent in eight years. Thank you, Thank you.
