I'd laugh Sheldon but some of those bras are actually what you do need
with DDD if a lady has a sizable chest. Meantime, degenerative disc
disease is not funny at all ok?

I do not know if Julie has it, but it's better to play it straight and
give her real information to use to see what may be up.

That's not the type of pain I have at all. This is more of an unrelenting
ache.

I do know several people who have that. One is currently under treatment.
What they describe does not seem like what I have. Whatever I have seems to
be much better now. I am not totally pain free but I think I never will be.
I always seem to have pain somewhere.

I can't raise the knees. I have to lie on my left side because of GERD.
And I have to raise my feet above my heart because of my bad leg veins. As
you can imagine, this doesn't make for great sleeping. I do have a new
mattress. It is a pillow top and not as hard as my old one. For some
reason, my parents are/were convinced that a very hard mattress is the only
way to go. That just doesn't work well for me.

My mom keeps buying me pillows to put between the knees for the back. She
has back issues and I think but am not sure, exactly as you describe.
Normally I don't have back pain, but those pillows give me back pain. I do
have to be careful not to let my knees touch when I sleep because that
causes knee pain. I sleep with an assortment of small blankets and assorted
pillows and rearrange them as needed.

I have never had anything like that. I did look up the DDD and it doesn't
sound at all like the the type of pain I am having and the pain is almost
gone now.

I can't take any NSAIDs because of the GERD. Only Tylenol.

And I'm sure now that I don't have that. Was pretty sure that I didn't.
But all symptoms are gone now and... I feel good! Na na na na na na na...
I knew that I would now... James Brown! I actually just added that ringtone
to my phone. I thought it would be funny. I'm not using it at the moment
though. I'm going with Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars now.

I wouldn't even know who he is if it wasn't for Sesame St - I like his
music.

I don't watch Sesame Street. It came on the air a little too late for me.
And Angela was never into it which was fine by me because I had a dislike
for that Elmo character. He doesn't speak proper English.

Bruno Mars was famous over here because he used to do an Elvis impression when he was 5 years old. His dad was a member of a very popular lounge act in Hawaii and LV. It was pretty nutty to see and kind of disturbing. The kid was raised up as an entertainer. What a life!

Not sure and now she says (as she often has) he help was not useful.
At least i played it straight.

It;s not chronic pain or DDD related to she'd still be imoble a week
later. The description of what she had (first message, not later
adaptions) simply do NOT clear that fast.

I gave her the benefit of the doubt though with a real answer. Guess I
wasted some 20 minutes of my life doing that.

I have no clue why you would have thought it was that. I did look it up and
it clearly didn't apply to me.
