[QUOTE="Jenny15, post: 1808433, member: 196992"] Sorry to hear you went through all that, I can really empathise. A number of times when it was worse I would fall to the floor and just stay there because at least it hurt less, lol. I even spent the night there in the living room once, with a 3cm camping mattress under me. Felt so much better than lying on a bed. If it came to that I would have the surgery, but at the moment it's much less severe than it used to be. I'm so glad the surgery worked. So often other back surgeries don't, and it can be a gamble. I just wondered if I needed to update my understanding of the bulged disc problem in light of now having been diagnosed with diabetes. Thought maybe if doctors had found that high blood glucose affects the muscles in some way for example that would be interesting to learn more about. Getting my BGs under control has had a positive impact on how I deal with chronic pain, stress and fatigue, so that's the main thing. [/QUOTE]
