I noticed you said 'My back and neck now trade off re painful flare ups and episodes. I don't think flare ups mean one is getting better actually and for me I've generally come to believe it is disc material leaking out on a nerve creating nerve pain and muscle spasms or could be the other way 'round. '
I actually believe this true as I read this before. I was much better off before physio. Will this leaking stop as i have never experienced this pain before.
and what do you mean by 'it could be the other way around? also My tear must not have leaked previously and now it has. anyway I will have a second opinion tomorrow off a really trustworthy gp who attends seminars etc. I will fill you in on what he says if I understand
