Capp, I have been nursing a bulging disc for 3 months (treating it for 2 months). It is finally getting better but I had many moments when I was just emotionally drained from the pain and from being debilitated and not being able to see the end of it (I think they call that loss of hope). I cried many times with my husband. Now that I am getting much better I am very hopeful again that it will end! It is okay to grieve and it is okay to feel the "negative" emotions.

My husband who is always emotionally stable ruptured his disc last year. He also had his moments of feelings during this time and I was really surprised because I never saw him like this before. These times bring us all down. It is normal......

You are coming here for support and this is very good!
