Eighteen months ago, I was diagnosed and operated on for CES. After the surgery, I have seen some great reliefs. The numbness in my feet have reduced drastically. Numbness in my saddle areas to have gone down. I have regained my erection but noticed that it does not stand for long. I doubt if I can have sexual intercourse for now. I still have severe back pains sometimes which is worrying. My doctor has advised that I reduce the intake of my medication since too much of it is dangerous to my health. I have now resorted to using hot water to massage my back, saddle areas and feet. Even though I see a great relief anytime I use the hot water, I want to find out if it is advisable. It is good that I continue using the hot water to massage my back, saddle areas and feet? Kindly advice me, thanks.

    As long as you test the water with your hand first to make sure you don’t burn yourself.
