Thanks for making a note of just how much swimming/ water-aerobics has helped you! My docs continue to threaten me (it's not really a THREAT, just I don't want it) with surgery, esp. when I was unable to walk without a cane. Water threapy helped me, too! Of course, I do still end up with the awful pain from 2 ruptured discs in my lumbar spine and I have had a couple of series of ESI's. These, too, has prevented me from having to go through any sort of back surgery, though. Considering how many OTHER surgeries I've been through, I wanted to prevent and do still refuse any BACK surgery until I can no longer walk. 'Til then, I can live with it. Besides, my sister has had a couple of back surgeries and she's still in pain!
Anyway, again; thanks for this. I do hope that others will consider just how much this can help.
