If your dr. wrote"add  back therapy" on your prescription., he meant add as in addition too, back threapy is plesant, I had it after a car accident its just like physical therapy except only for your back, they used ultrasound, heat, massage and it cured my back pain. they will likely teach you easy exercises that strenghten spine also. Most insurances need a prescription for any therapy so thats why your dr. wrote it the way he did, have a  great day, Cherie

I have heard nothing but bad about leupron, suposed to cause crying spells, ( it puts you into a drug induced menopause) and severe depresson, back therapy is wonderful its massage, magnetic therapy and other things to reduce back pain, it feels great and is very relaxing and does help with back pain.Calcium increase is good for any woman,  just drink more milk,chew a couple of tums a day (dont over do just 2 a day)
our cyst depend on what type of cysts they are, I just had bothe my ovarys removed because of cysts and extreme pain , but i already have 3 kids, so honestly if you want to preserve your fertility Leupron does usually cause cysts to disapear, just beware of posssible side effects, Good luck Cherie
