hey there walshcore
I did take a look at the wonderdrug videos, just a couple! from what I saw it is just relief from pain, if you have that much relief and can bounce around would it not then aggravate the disc herniation and cause more pain or even additional injury afterwards? also, it doesnt look much different to a nerve block and they can last up to 3 weeks and are very available. anyway, I dont envy you your trip, it sounds like hell, maybe a doctors note could get you one of those exit chairs on the plane where there is more room? mine is even insisting on a temporary disabled sticker for the car! while I dont really want to admit defeat, it will be a blessing to be honest! check into nerve blocks think it has to be done by a neuro as the GP cant do them...
good luck with it all
