I wanted to write and tell you how much I am enjoying my Back-Pro
machine. Since I was very skeptical about purchasing any machine, I felt
it only fair to write and let you know what kind of improvement I have
had.
In 1990 when my left leg began to feel fuzzy I went to see a doctor who diagnosed the problem as three herniated disks. In the course of the next four years, during which I was in a lot of pain most of the time, I was given therapy and two sets of cortisone shots in the spine, which brought little relief.
During the time since my back problem had begun I began to regress in my activities. I began to notice that I could not stand or walk for any period of time and when I forced myself to continue, the pain in my left leg became unbearable and I would end up limping and be unable to lift my leg off the ground.
One of my favorite activities is baking and on the days that would stand in the kitchen for hours, I had to lie down on the sofa to rest.
During this past winter my pain hit a new high and I was experiencing pain every day. I didn't miss any time from work but more days than not I would be unable to stand up straight and I walked with a limp. Also for the first time I had pain in my hip when I laid down and some nights the pain would be bad enough that I would have to get out of bed to try and get some relief.
At this point I returned to my doctor and told him that I was ready for surgery or else he could "cut off my left leg." He told me that he didn't want to do surgery and that backs routinely "come and go" and he was sure that with time I would be Okay again.
I had become an embarrassment to my family because I couldn't walk or stand and if I sat too long when I got up I was all hunched over. My friends had stopped asking me to go shopping or attend any functions that required walking and gardening was certainly out of the question. I had given up all hope of ever living a normal life again. It was at this point in time that your machine was suggested to me. I hesitated about purchasing a machine that, with such relative ease on my part, could make me "new again," What can I say-it worked! It's a miracle.
I have been using the machine for over a month now and the difference is noticeable to everybody. I am not completely pain free at this point, but based on where I've been, it's a tremendous improvement. I have been able to return to cooking and baking, without a need for the sofa, the shopping malls have received me with open arms (my husband thanks you), my days at the office are no longer painful for me, or for my bosses who had to watch me all day long, and most nights are pain free. I recently took a plane trip to the West Coast and after sitting on the plane for 3 or 4 hours I had no problem getting up and walking.
Had I not been so skeptical, I could have been using this machine months ago and enjoying a pain free existence long before I did. Your machine is great and it has worked for me.
