Hello again everyone! I posted a few days or so ago, but I did not receive as much advice on this subject as I would have liked to. This is a really big dilema for me right now. I am 48 years old, in menopause, and to top it off, I have Degenerative Disk Disease. The disease has changed my whole life. Not to mention my husbands. Am I alone here? Or is anyone out there going through this same problem? If so, please share your story with me.

I love my husband of over 20 years. And I know that he loves me. But I can't help worrying that this disease will push us apart. I'm a grown woman. I know that my husband who is only 43 years old, has needs. I'm scared! I'm scared that by having sex, he will hurt me. Not intentionally of course. But none the less, I'm afraid that something could go wrong, and I will end up damaging my back & spine even worse than it is now. I have 2 bulging disks, with nerve descending. And if any of you have this same disease with bulging disks, you know that if the disks hit the exposed nerves, the pain is excruciating. PLEASE give me your input. All advice is welcome. Thanks a bunch!
