what do you mean that because of her work she cant do any treatments? sounRAB to me like if she was that miserable, she would do whatever she had to do to get something done, and not live in misery. there is nothing that anyone of us can tell you...because with disc protrusions, all you can do is pain meRAB, physical therapy, epidural injections...and if all else fails...then possible surgery. there are no home remedies for disc problems, as there are for like headaches, upset stomachs, etc. her problem is most likely not going to go away, and has the potential to actually get worse, if she doesnt see a dr and learn what her options are, as well as to lean what she should and shouldnt be doing. maybe her job requires too much for her, for instance, maybe she should be lifting no more than 5 pounRAB...and yet she is lifting 20+ pounRAB...or maybe shes constantly having to push on things...which is also another big no no with bad discs. (these are all just guesses since i dont know what type of job she has). but with me, i have restrictions of no bending, twisting, weight limit of 10 pounRAB, no clirabing, no pushing, no kneeling or squatting. so her job might be doing her more harm than good.
