Lumbar disc herniation is really tormenting; it's said to be a disease of the rich, a cancer that doesn't die, and I'm afraid to have surgery. I've only had conservative treatment, acupuncture, massage, chiropractic, and medication—I've tried it all, and it hasn't worked. Is there a better way to treat it? I'm suffering so much from this illness! The black plaster only relieves the pain; it can't remove the root cause! With such advanced medical conditions now, can't it be cured? How do you treat it?
