Thank you for the advice. Unfortunately, my son can't seem to do any stretches or excersises because the pain prevents him from moving in such a way. He's tried several different excersises, but since the pain is so intense, he can't go through the motions properly.
I've heard that there are certain anti-inflamation medications that can help to clear up the inflamation of the disc that is herniated. Does anyone happen to know of such medications that would actually work? He is unable to swallow pills or capsules unless they are very small (such as "advil size" ) and because of that, he's had no luck with medications, either. Is there any more advice you or anyone else can give me?
