| In 2002 I was in my 11th year of degenerative disc disease in my lower back when I blew out my shoulder. I was barely able to dress myself in the morning (because of my back) and could not move my arm (at the shoulder) at ALL. The pain was incredible! Avoiding another surgery like the plague, I decided to give the chiropractor another crack at me. After 7 months of visiting him 3 times a week with no improvement, I gave up on him. Around this time, my niece's husband, very enthusiastically, told me about MSM and what it has done for him. I listened to him but, quite honestly, had he not given me a bag of tablets, I never would have bought some to try. Within 2 weeks, the pain in my arm subsided to the point where I could get some sleep without waking up every few minutes in agony. After a month, an increase in mobility in both my arm and lower back was clearly visible. After a year (when y'all met me) I was almost back to normal. My friend Tomm (the fellow that runs the casino tours) has a son (Mike) and daughter (Debbie) that have their own chiropractic clinics in the Atlanta area and, when Debbie noticed my improvement, she asked me about it. When I told her about MSM, she spoke highly of it and said that she has some in her office. She already knew my story so, when I wondered out loud why my chiropractor never mentioned MSM to me, she apologetically (for her profession) gave me the cold, hard, facts of life. "If he told you about MSM, you would not have had to go to his office 3 times a week for 7 months." |
