I have tried PT, did not like it, I went to a surgeon, he said PT was bad for me. Everyonce in awhile I get vicodin, which works great, but the supply always runs out.....Please help me with all these conflicting camps

I have used a machine at the gym, where I can do inversion, and it helps. I don't know the name of the machine, but it is at a 45 degree angle (it involves no weights or special attachments). The heels of the feet get anchored under the ledge, and then I lean over the pad and hang -- just letting myself go totally relaxed. It does help.
I was doing training with a personal trainer at my gym, and during of my back routine sessions (weight lifting), I mentioned that I had been having some pain and that I didn't think I could do a couple of the heavier exercises. He introduced me to this type of inversion, and any time I feel any pain, I can rely on it to help stretch me out and to relax whatever is causing the pain. I hope it works for you, because I know there is nothing worse than back pain. Good luck.

An inversion desk appears like a waste of time. Are you napping on a gentle bed? My again issues went away while I acquired a well corporation bed. Oh, and what's a "menu have compatibility"?

They provide a temporary relief of back problems because the inverted spine separates from it's normal position and releases compression. Once you are back on your feet your spine will once again compress due to gravity and the pain will return.
You must determine the cause of your back pain then resolve it with exercise and/or proper alignment from a respectable chiropractor. I suggest not becoming to attached to medical doctors and pain medications for back problems. It'll last for life.

I've known a few people who've had inversion tables. They didn't like them. What helped me was strengthening my abdominal muscles. When you have a strong core, it supports your back better and helps with posture.
