[pct-l] i injured my back ... advice ?

[Kevin Cook]

I like this sound of this treatment. Perhaps combine the jacuzzi treatment
with a cold beer?

I wonder if I can use this as a preventative measure!

If my doc writes a prescription for a jacuzzi, will my pharmacy will fill it
for just my insurance co-pay? That would be sweet! ;)
