Degnerative Disk Disease & Fibromyalgia??
Sorry to hear that! Go to a chiropractor, it will help most likely a lot! Pain down arms and legs is not a good sign. This is radicular pain. Chiro adjustments can help with herniation, ask about decompression too and will probably get rid of radicular pain. Use ice on neck and low back 20 min on and one hour off until you see Chiropractor. Do not put heat on pain, heat will attract more inflammation and make it worse, just feels better but the ice will put out your fires!!! Good luck. READ MORE
