    Start with an appointment to your GP and ask if your condition would benefit from seeing a physical therapist The vast majority of regenerative disc problems can be fixed by physical therapy. Physical therapy doesn't work when the damage has progressed beyond a certain point, but even under these circumstances, its still worthwhile for preventing things from getting worse. If you can't be helped by physical therapy, then surgery would be the next option. For surgery you would need to see an orthopedic surgeon.

    He may have a borderline eating disorder, but it isn't quite a disorder if he's OK with it and has a healthy life and body. Or it could be some kind of OCD - sounds pretty obsessive to me! If it isn't a problem for him then it isn't really a problem, right? Now if I had his problem I'd eat the exact same chocolates every day, but that's just me!
