I suffer the effects of a herniated disk from 4 years ago., including daily pain, stiffness , soreness, stabbing and dull pain and weakness in my left leg and foot. Consistently I have noticed that when I visit the Colorado Springs area that on day two I no longer need pain medication, even after plane trip, hauling luggage, etc. it s as if the high altitude lessens the pain. What is your opinion.
Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Pain is relieved by high altitude because there is a Chat Doctor. In similar cases physical therapy with stretching of vertebral column exercises is the best treatment. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
