My Dad lived with this injury for many years, had many operations and even some steel rods inserted, the disc removed and replaced with a silicon prosthetic and a whole bunch of traction (the old school method which just makes it worse!).
I hope you find a physical therapist who can assist you.
As for me, yep - I have a couple of niggling illnesses - one of which I have to take meds for every day for the rest of my life - but I'm not in pain, so it's all good! (
