i do hope i'm getting better...
each day when i go home, the muscles ache like blazes but the
affected disc isn't that painful anymore...
so, before i go sleep each night, i slather on about a gallon of
heat rub on aching parts... then the next morning, i feel good..
until around this time when the aching parts start giving me
problems again 
thank goodness tomorrow, half a day off.. and i go to the physio
too
