It's been a busy last three years between breast cancer, genetics, broken back and now a hose head. In the under 55 group.

Whoops! Sorry!

That was a typo!

I meant 1.2 (annualized).

Periodic visits to the ortho guys, and the annual physical, attended religiously once every 3 years.

Surprised no one's list included Dr. cpaptalk.

Right on, Roster Rooster, the best of the bunch! Dr CPAPTalk.

Too many! but not as many as the post above, thank goodness.

Gynecologist
Pain specialist
Neurologist
Cardiologist
Endocrinologist
Gastroenterologist
Rheumatologist
pulmonologist
Sleep doc (yes, different doc)
primary doc
Orthopedic specialist
Dermatologist
Allergist
hepatologist

I think I have at least one for each body part.

I'm 36 and I really only have 1 - my GP. She referred me to a sleep clinic and I saw the doc there for a total of about 7 minutes. I don't really consider myself his patient.

Too freaking many! Oh for the good ole days when you usually only had one, your family physician. I'm not a bunch of bits and pieces. I'm one entire human being. At least I was last time I checked.

Mars, what is Back Magic and a Lumbar stretcher? I have back problems too.

Hi Newname

Here are a few links -

http://www.badbacks.com.au/shop/product ... ing-device

http://www.backmagicworks.com/

http://lumbarextender.com/instructions.html

Both these are pretty much the same except that the Lumbar Extender is made from tougher materials, and lasts longer, and is more expensive. Be careful, some traders package the BackMagic as Lumbar Extender, and charge the Lumbar Extender price.

I have both, just to have backup, as eventually the holding clips of the BackMagic break off after about 15 months.

They are worth their weight in gold, as I now have hours of daily functionality from my back, which I never got, and never would have got, otherwise.

I guess a Google search should find an outlet in your area. If not, the guys at BadBacks will probably be able to mail you.

cheers
