yeah family definetely helps out. i just picked one comment to reply to. but i'm hoping not to take it to surgery. i have two weeks to see if it gets better and then the doctor said probably surgery. but then again when you go to someone's whose job is surgery, all they want to do is surgery. chirocractor won't help becuase of the specific situation and the muscle nerves that its laying on. basically causing sciattica but to the point that i dont have the reflex reaction on my right ankle. i just heard about a brother in p.a. that does neuro deep tissue massages so i'm definetely gonna be looking into it for treatment. cuz as mentioned surgery is not joke. but thanks so much to everyone for your love and concern!!!
