at the very least, grab a back brace from walmart or wrap an ace bandage around your mid section for some extra support. buy a cane to help.
if at all possible, try to hang upside down for a while.
when you lay down, try to throw a pillow under your lower back for some lumbar support. and stretch---stretch a LOT!
i fucked my back up last year and looked exactly like you with not being able to stand up straight. happily, i was only down for about a week, but it hurt like a ************. trust me, some of that stuff will help you out.

Damn you're looking rough there.
Many years ago my back got majorly screwed up. My regular physician scoffed at the idea of me seeing a chiropractor, then gave me Motrin and a neck brace temporarily til I could see an orthopedic surgeon. His diagnosis was for me to undergo surgery which had a 50/50 chance of correction. I said **** that!
I had some whack symptoms from my injury besides scoliosis: Heart palipitations, shallow breathing, stomach upset, insomnia, headaches, numbness, aches, muscle spasms, jittery feelings in my arms. It sucked.
Having visited several chiropractors, some of which were alright in my opinion and there's my current one that's been really working well for me. He will not hesitate to say that your condition is beyond his ability for treatment nor is he anti-medication. I suggest you do the same.
My back will never be perfect and it took awhile before I got better, but the scoliosis and those symptoms are gone.

It's called a herniated disk. And sometimes the pressure can be relieved from a Chiropractor adjustment. It just relieves the pressure long enough for the inlfamtion to go away. Then your good until you inflame it again. $25 bux to try?? Plus Anthony is really a cool guy His partner teachs Gracie style Brazilian Ju Jitsu

My girlfriend is a licensed massage therapist. Let me know if you want to set something up. It might help, or it might not, but it wouldn't hurt.
Here is a picture of her working on DJDINO a few months ago.

wow, now THAT is a major adjustment. I appreciate all the help, I gotta wait another few days till I get my last check......I am broke as a joke right now. I was hoping for a southbay local cause car rides are bu far the most painful **** yet.....besides the bathroom. Screw the rent, I need relief.

I went yesterday...........turns out my back is 1 and 3/4 inches off center to the right, and my left leg is 1.5 inches shorter. I got 3 vertibre that are bulging putting presure on my nerves. Painfull stuff. He put these shock pads on and turned up the juice till I was twiching like a spaz. I am saposted to go everyday but I cant afford it right now. I felt better but only for a hour or so, now I am sore as ****. Doc said 10-15 visits should do the trick. He also said I had the backbone of a 50YO...........more great news.
No, that was too far of a drive. I went to a guy in torrance a friend recommended. He was the closest recommendation I got. Seems to know his stuff, and gave me a huge discount. The bill was 400 bucks with all the treatments and x rays, but he only charged me 115. He said 60 bucks per treatment so I am pretty happy with the deal.

Wasnt that the OC guy in Costa Mesa? Too far to drive. This guy hooked me up. I was there for 2 hours. He popped my back from my *** to my head in one shot. Crazy ****. I hope the price will drop the more I go..... And with a seven as a DD I would be spending the difference on gas anyway.
