Thank you so much, Sparkly, for taking the time to write this. It may not be what I WANT to hear, but I definitely need to hear it. I think you may be right. I have accomplished a lot, and need to look at what I CAN do and stop thinking about what I CANNOT do anymore. I just might need to stop searching for some miracle out there.

You've tried nearly everything, you work out hard, you've had 2 kids...WOW. It sounds like you have structural changes in your vertebrae (vs. flexible, temporary, or otherwise easy2change) so I don't think there's any magic out there that is going to make you 100% --if you haven't found it already--if this is something genetic and/or has been going on since childhood.
I think ramping up your strength with NR or something similar will only help; especially build strength in your hips to support your spine and take some of the stress/dysfunction off.
I wish you great success! Just wanted to stop by and give you "kudos" for all the "work" it sounds like you've done thus far!
