MSB - a new dawn, page-1895

I forgot to say that strengthening the muscles is key to having them sit in the right place.
Swimming doesn't involve pressure so it's kind of perfect for that process.
Other degeneration like discs or vertebrae is obviously not fixed by that.
But look into supporting with nutrient supplements that work at the cellular level.
Bioceuticals is a good brand (white package blue label and available at chemists but behind the counter usually it's not cheap).
Basically you need bioavailable supplements that are balanced to be absorbed.
A lot of supplements are just as worthwhile as cutting out the middle man (you) tipping them directly into the loo, and flushing.
That's how useful they are.
I'd be looking at magnesium, essential minerals, and supplements to help soft tissue and cartilage.
Speak to a medical practitioner who works with nutritional medicine as well so they are healing at the cellular level. They exist.
Most doctors will either apply mechanisms to neutralise your symptoms and not deal with underlying causes.
I don't think many even look at nutrition. Yet it is key especially as we get older.
I don't believe in crystal waving, homeopathy or stuff like that. But nutritional medicine can work very powerfully with conventional medicine.
It can be challenging dealing with health stuff, at times it can be the loneliest thing in the world.
Hang in there!

Mr Dasher hang in there too! I hope I've said something useful above.
