Suggest Remedy For Degenerative Disc And Joint Disease
i have degenerative disc and joint disease. i have bursitis and 5 bulging discs and i am always pinching nerves down my legs and from my neck down to finger tips. i was told at my age of 36 there is nothing that can be done for me right now. is this true?
unfortunately yes (about your spine). just keep a good muscular tone in your back (swimming is perfect and doesn't affect your discopathy) and take short steroid cycles+lumbar back support in the acute phase. regarding osteoarthritis instead: move your joints in prder to avoid stiffness. consider steroid joint injection/ joint replacement depending on disease stage/age/ affected joints
