At 82, almost abnormally youthful looking and athletic (though no real workouts in my past!) and until recently still skiiing and skating, I have longstanding MRI-confirmed multilevel degenerative stenosis, with at least two herniated discs visibly pressing on the spinal nerve (the mild L4/L5 problems went back many years), and for a year (2006) there came a sudden plague of serioualy-disabling problems, such as a visibly atrophying quad (right leg only), pain throughout, significant weakness (right leg only)to the point of total collapse on weightbearing attempts such as a two-step rise, and definite loss of balance on movement.

Errily, and hopefully for others, ALL of these continuing problems suddenly vanished overnight about a year ago! I had done nothing different that I can pinpoint–it just happened. My neurologist could only say “Well, we almost never see nerve regeneration, but…..” I do still have occasional mkild-to-middling sciatic pain for half a day once in a while, and hope the table will help with that. But I don’t see how it can last past the time on the table. ANY EXPERIENCE TO THE CONTRARY OR PROFESSIONAL OBSERVATIONS ON THAT?
