    Been there with herniated disc and joint disease. In my case I was given a injection in the disc to help eliminate the gel leaking from the disc causing the pain that was pressing on the nerve. I woke up after injection and all the pain was gone. A back specialist helped me to reach and tie my shoes again. It was such a relief because I was in so much pain for 2 years.
