Had that!
Last July had chest pains,,, bending, winching boat in etc.. Put myself on Tums and it helped. Pain got so bad drove to emergency room and diagnosed with acid reflex. As precaution I set up a stress test with a cardio guy we know. Well for the next three weeks every morning at the gym I would be sweating bullets, chest pain pounding away and O D ing on Tums....
Flunked stress test and received a stint three days later. Phew! did I dodge a bullet. Hoping my luck hadn't run out I bought a bunch of scratch tickets,,, it ran out!

best of health,,, Gup

My back is... well my sacroiliac is shot, no cartilage, bone on bone and spinal chord damage.I walk with a cane (lurch and waddle). The pain that I experienced when the "degenerative lumbar disease" first struck me was unbearable (disintegrated and ruptured disks). I use Bayer arthritis formula. Helps a little.

My sciatica recovery came to a stand still :-(
Went to a phys therapy guy last week for two sessions. Aside from the in office therapy he designs at home exercises to follow. This is the first time I have been pain free in a couple of months! Never had this before but if it ever pops up again, phys therapy will be my first move.

Back to the gym, Gup

Scotch helped also
